Today the sun rose, and you awoke. What did you think about? Your responsibilities. How do I know this? Because that’s what we all do. I’m not excluding myself. I need peace, too, like you. I am in the same boat as you are, and that’s what qualifies me to talk about it. If I were in some other boat, it would just be ideas and theories, but I am in the same boat. You hear about the frailty of life. Yesterday, somebody told me that a very good friend of mine passed away. I stopped and thought about it. And I understood in that moment—once again—how precious life is and that no day can be wasted. I understood once again that, of all the gifts I have been given, the greatest is the breath that comes into me every moment.
