[Start ID: a quote by D. Coffyn, "IF YOU'RE NOT PLANNING ON GOING TO HEAVEN, GO TO NORWAY," which is my taxi driver's way of saying, "Marvel while you are on Earth. We do not know what awaits us hereafter. Befriend every dog. Trace calloused fingertips along the wrinkled wisdom of a Redwood until they soften. Bask in the rapture of a cicada symphony. Allow peach cobbler drenched in vanilla cream to dribble down your unplucked chin. Eat tomatoes from the vine. Become the patron saint of fireflies. Stargaze in Yellowstone. Drive through the night to reach salt-licked shores. Savor the brine of a sweating kiss. Be generous with I love you. Inhale joy. Exhale sorrow. Absorb all the beauty of being alive."
