Don't wait for a tragedy to start appreciating the little things in life. We shouldn't have to be chased by tigers or leap off a cliff to savour the sweetness of a single strawberry.

... life is not a problem to be solved ...but a mystery...
We can participate in mystery only by letting go of solutions.
- Philip Simmons, Learning to Fall - The Blessings of an Imperfect Life
When we learn to fall we learn to accept the vulnerability that is our human endowment, the cost of walking upright on the earth.
