I had always heard your entire life
flashes in front of your eyes the second
before you die.

First of all, that one second isn't a
second at all, it stretches on forever,
like an ocean of time...

For me, it was lying on my back at Boy
Scout camp, watching falling stars...
And yellow leaves, from the maple trees,
that lined my street...
Or my grandmother's hands, and the way
her skin seemed like paper...
And the first time I saw my cousin Tony's
brand new Firebird...

I guess I could be pretty pissed off
about what happened to me... but it's
hard to stay mad, when there's so much
beauty in the world. Sometimes I feel
like I'm seeing it all at once, and it's
too much, my heart fills up like a
balloon that's about to burst...

...and then I remember to relax, and stop
trying to hold on to it, and then it
flows through me like rain and I can't
feel anything but gratitude for every
single moment of my stupid little life...

You have no idea what I'm talking about,
I'm sure. But don't worry...

You will someday.
