15 Minutes to Live
Fifteen minutes of fame. Fifteen gigs of data. Fifteen bucks for lunch.
Fifteen minutes to write. Fifteen minutes to live.
The closer I look at the end of my life the more important it is to me that my grand children see the beauty and truth in the world, and that they learn to confront it with their authentic selves, that they come to understand how important it is to be real. That it is a complete waste of time to be “false, tricksey”.
In the end it doesn’t matter where we came from, it may not even matter where we are going. What does matter is where we are right now, in these 15 minutes right now, right here.
