The meditations chart an afflicted life lived over three continents and touched, hauntingly and unforgettably, by an astonishing love.
---
Know that you will die,
that life is not a race,
and death not the finishing post.
Dare to love wholly 
with courage and forethought,
and to love deeply
with grace and kindness.
Always remember the child
you once were,
and will be again.
