I'd spend my remaining time surrounded by the people I love. We'd all laugh, cry, toast marshmallows & stay up past our bedtimes.

And I'd have people from Habitat build my coffin. I think that would be fitting, don't you? Someone remember to put a sheepskin inside for me? And a bucket of beach sand & some sea glass?

Though I am different from you,
We were born involved in one another.

For it was not into my ear you whispered, but into my heart. It was not my lips you kissed, but my soul.

Complete surrender should not just come at moments in which one faces overwhelming odds, but in the calm when it seems one is personally in complete control of one's life.
