How soon will we accept this opportunity to be fully alive before we die? (88)

Quoting son, Noah Levine: Once you see what the heart really needs, it doesn__ matter if you__e going to live or die, the work is always the same. (25)

I have seen many die, surrounded by loved ones, and their last words were __ love you._ There were some who could no longer speak yet with their eyes and soft smile left behind that same healing message. I have been in rooms where those who were dying made it feel like sacred ground. (26)

Death is perfectly safe. (55)

You have to remember one life, one death__his one! To enter fully the day, the hour, the moment whether it appears as life or death, whether we catch it on the inbreath or outbreath, requires only a moment, this moment. And along with it all the mindfulness we can muster, and each stage of our ongoing birth, and the confident joy of our inherent luminosity. (24)

[D]etachment means letting go and nonattachment means simply letting be. (95)
