I paused one day and realized that I have a one way ticket and its good for the duration of this life on earth.
Whatever does, or does not come later, right now I am on the fast track to old age and I need to keep my eyes peeled on what is going on around me.
The point is not how many stops I make along the way. The point is how much those stops mean to me.
Every time I linger -- whether it is for a couple of decades or the moment it takes to breathe in the scent of the pine trees overhead -- I am filling myself. Not like that proverbial camel who had so many possessions he couldn't get into heaven, but with the richness of earthly experiences.
When I get to the end of the line it would be awesome if I can hop off saying, "That was great! I'm so full I can barely move."
