Not A Moment is Wasted

It really is beautiful, isn’t it? This life you are living? Feel the deep, harmonious resonance in your chest, reverberating back to your first heart beat and forward to the moment when you take your last breath; a single note, sounding throughout the entirety of this lifetime.
