My jaw is agape. I love this essay VERY much. I can just see you floating down the river, casting off the oars. And I want to be on the next raft. As for capitalization: I’m a fan. Your writing is so beautiful, the lack of them distracts me a bit. I say “Shift away, Baby.”

beautiful. on the topic of rapture, Matisse images came to mind. I tried to paste it but alas...a reason to go the Art Institute of Chicago!

This is so very beautiful, especially coming into a weekend. Time is not a promise, it's a gift, every day. Thank you for sharing this!

As a stickler for details, I do love a well placed Capital letter. I also like your fervent reminders to carpe diem. Cancer or not, time is marching on for all of us. As a recent retiree, I am well aware of making good use of the time while the body is willing and able.
