An email this afternoon told that a coworker and fellow musician had died suddenly of a heart attack over the weekend. I'd seen him just last week at the gym - his locker is next to mine. He seemed fit, exercised at the gym, swam at the Y. Suddenly gone.
I stopped by the gym on the way home from work. His name, and lock, still on the locker. Someone will have to deal with that - clearly a low priority - and many in the community still don't know the news.
It's a reminder that as important as it may be to plan for the future, life is lived in the present. None of us knows how many more days we have. It is folly to forego living fully in the present thinking that enjoyment or fulfillment are for some future day.
Live now!
