things humans can do that computers can’t (yet).
turning twenty
On a bus driving down a mountain in Nepal I thought I might die. I thought about the life I’ve lived so far and realised how wonderful it has been. I’m satisfied; I made peace with dying, and thought if we make it to the bottom of this road I’d be awfully thankful to get another twenty-ish years.
Doing dishes the other day I was suddenly overwhelmed with smiles and tears of joy, thinking about the beauty of the people I have met in my life so far. You all have filled my life, and I feel so lucky.
Turning twenty I’ve probably lived over a quarter of my life, and I think after-death will feel like before-birth. So I will keep trying to make the best of my brief time. Friends, thank you for the thoughts you expressed yesterday, it was humbling.
