Planets

I think I've made good choices in life. I'm very happy with the quality of experiences I've had. I think satisfied would be the word for it. I remember being a kid and tv and movies would sometimes depict a dying old person wishing they had done more with his or her life. Or just some older person having a crisis and needing to do some childish thing to feel good about the life they lived. I've experienced a wide spectrum of emotions and events. I'm not completely worldly and distinguished, but I was no hermit either. I certainly did not hold back with my experiences. It's not necessarily about happiness. It's about experiencing the world, observing, interacting, being. I've felt intense joys, and intense pains, and extreme sorrows, and fierce anger, and a great deal of every spectrum of human existence. I cherished all of it equally. If I were told I would die tomorrow, or even within the hour, I would be content. That is if not for thinking of those who love me, but that will not change even when I'm old and gray. My life from here on is just gravy. This planet is mine to live on and be a part of.
