@footfootfoot, thank you - the poems are beautiful, I love both of them. Unbelievably apt ...
@sexobon, I'm familiar with that saying - have just found that taking a hard look at death makes me want to draw a little more from what's left of life.
@SamIAm, thanks for this - I really have to look up Mary Oliver. Don't know why I haven't run across her work before.
(Sorry to be a bit telegraphic - rough day coming off steroids.)
