昨天與Jenny在成大健走時聊到人及自己的生命「隨時」會終止於塵世，而自己準備好了嗎？自己會畏懼死亡嗎？或許這問題對甫跨越不惑之年不久的我們似乎遠了點，但我卻覺得思考此等問題是極具建設性的。

記得有一首鄉村歌曲「Live like you were dying」，歌詞中道出當人面對絕症時才懂得珍惜並享受生命，當下才懂得去做以前想做而未做的事，生命中也才更懂得去愛別人並懂得寬恕之道，生命的對人對事態度也因此改變，試想這就是當我們面對死亡「才」有的體悟嗎？！Jenny說如果我們能體悟生命的無常而反芻於日常生活則是最幸福的，同時面對死亡不是恐懼而是「情」的不捨，我想我們目前都無法真正感受面對死亡的真實心境，但卻可以嘗試將每天當做生命的最後一天來經營，或許我們無法真正看破生死之道，但我相信面對生死之門是我們必須要學習的。

Live Like You Were Dying - Tim McGraw

He said I was in my early 40's,
With a lot of life before me,
And a moment came that stopped me on a dime.
I spent most of the next days, lookin' at the x-rays,
Talkin' 'bout the options and talkin' 'bout sweet time.
Asked him when it sank in, that this might really be the real end.
How's it hit ya, when you get that kind of news.
Man what ya do.
And he says,

[Chorus]

I went sky divin',
I went rocky mountain climbin',
I went 2.7 seconds on a bull name Fu Manchu.
And I loved deeper,
And I spoke sweeter,
And I gave forgiveness I've been denying,
And he said someday I hope you get the chance,
To live like you were dyin'.

He said I was finally the husband,
That most the time I wasn't.
And I became a friend a friend would like to have.
And all the sudden goin' fishing,
Wasn't such an imposition.
And I went three times that year I lost my dad.
Well I finally read the good book,
And I took a good long hard look at what I'd do
If I could do it all again.
And then.

[Chorus]

Like tomorrow was a gift and you've got eternity
To think about what you do with it,
What could you do with it, what can
I do with with it, what would I do with it.

[Chorus]
Sky divin',
I went rocky mountain climbin',
I went 2.7 seconds on a bull name Fu Manchu.
And I loved deeper,
And I spoke sweeter,
And I watched an eagle as it was flyin'.
And he said someday I hope you get the chance,
To live like you were dyin'.

To live like you were dyin'.
To live like you were dyin'.
To live like you were dyin'.
To live like you were dyin'.
