That I am determined not to have
When I am lying on my deathbed
Is that
I did not kiss you enough.
~Hafiz
Tonight I drove through sparkling snow and neighbourhoods with Christmas lights and breathed in winter. I love life. I am grateful for the love affair I have with the life I have been gifted.
A friend sent me a song called Kiss the World Beautiful by Martyn Joseph when I posted the Hazif quote on Facebook. The title resonated within me. I want to kiss the world beautiful, embrace the joy of each day, and know that each person I meet is a blessing if I choose to look deep enough.
I want to face death, knowing that I sucked the marrow from life, that I completely devoured everything on the plate I was offered, and asked for dessert when I was done.
How about you? Are you kissing the world enough?
Peace,
Suzanne
