Get busy livin'

What if we told you that you had five minutes to live? Or one hour to live? Would it not be the five busiest minutes or the one busiest hour you had ever lived? So many people to call. So much to say. So much not yet done. Dreams, projects, contemplation of one's place in the cosmos~prayer. What if we told you that you had one week or one month or six months? Does the same not apply? Wouldn't that be the busiest week, month or six months of your whole life? What if we told you we could guarantee you were going to die? (But not when.) How would you live the rest of your life then? As the master writer Stephen King put it, "Get busy livin' or get busy dying."
