Stephen Levine has written extensively about what he has learned from working with those who are dying. Being close to those who are in the last moments of life has taught him the importance of being alive in every moment.To the degree we are present for “just this much” this living moment, we are alive. Otherwise we numb to the vibrancy and beg upon our deathbed for one more chance.
Most think that living a “full life” means living into old age. But if you are not alive this moment, what makes you think you’ll be alive then? To live fully is to be filled with this moment. Present for this millisecond, this day, this week, this life.
Stephen and Ondrea Levine, Embracing the Beloved
