After attending a wonderful yoga class this morning in beautiful Palm Desert, CA; I decided to take a bath. The warm water and the mixture of body washes and soaps soothed my aching muscles and my fatigued body. My bathroom was illuminated by the soft golden flicker of candle light. Today was a special day for me and that deserved a warm relaxing bath, scented candles and soft ambient music playing in the background. It is during these times of relaxation and bliss where I do most of my reflecting.

My iHome played the sounds of the sea with an occasional sea-gull call here and there as well as the haunting song of the humpback whale. The candle light danced around my skin, and sparkled against the soapy water. It was an almost hypnotic bath with a surreal quality to it; I am used to it, I have talent for preparing wonderful baths.

As the candles slowly melted to stumps and my skin was soft, clean and smelled of tropical fruit, a realization began to dawn on me.  I gazed upon my body that was submerged more than halfway in the water; my head down to my chest was out of the water as well as my knees, they looked like two flesh colored islands right next to each other in the middle of the sudsy ocean. My eyes wondered from my toes to my arms, not single square in of skin was missed (my butt and my back kind of). Do you know what is that I had realized? No? It was: Nothing lasts forever.

It was then, when I realized that I had taken many things for granted, like my friends, my family and even more strangely, myself. I ran a hand over my leg and marveled at it, what a beautiful thing a leg was. It allowed me to walk, run, jump, stand and kick the crap out of my brother as well as a soccer ball, yet I never gave it a second thought. I have such a wonderful body! Mind you, I didn’t say I had a beautiful body, I said I had a wonderful, healthy, working body. Beauty is only skin deep, true beauty resides within one’s own soul.

(me enjoying a nice day out :D, best things in life are free)

Anyways, I totally sidetracked. My realization was: I take so many things for granted, what would I do if I had a day to live? What would anyone of us do? When I asked myself this question I seriously couldn’t come up with a reasonable answer. Maybe I would seek forgiveness from those that I had hurt in the past and tell some people that I love them. Perhaps I would go out and do things that I’ve never done before and that I would like to have done.

When I sat down on my living room couch to eat a bowl of special K and some bacon (sorry if you’re vegetarian), I appreciated the things I had a little bit more. The cereal tasted better and so did the bacon (sorry again!).

What I want to know is what YOU would do if you had 24 hours left in your life. What would you do?

 

Much love, Snow

What would I do?

I went back in time to when I was 19, riding a beautiful bay horse in the Phoenix /Scottsdale horse parade, 1969. I could feel the horse beneath me, prancing proudly, in his first parade.  He was a bit nervous, but under control.  He was totally lost in the moment, as I was.  We enjoyed his prancing, his breath, the touch of my hands on the reins.  He was excited, but thoroughly enjoying the movements.  The huge trail of horses around us, the people staring in awe.  We could hear the announcer, and the horses stopped, to freeze action sideways, facing the crowd.  Still in control, Hash froze like a statue, ears pricked, not moving a muscle.  I telepathically asked him not to, and he obeyed beautifully.

The line of horses then went back to progressing down the street calmly.  Hash went back to prancing at the touch of a rein, and the parade moved on.  He was stunningly beautiful, and I was as high as a kite!!!  It was a gorgeous moment in time. 

What would I do?  I'd ride.  I love horses, they love me.  Perfect synchronization.

never thought about it. all i know is i would want woke up to the smell bacon on my last day.

Thank you for this wonderful post. I was almost imagining beautiful music on the background while reading it slowly.

Theme of a last day of my life always fascinated me, giving more and more new insights on how i would spend it. I used to imagine it from time to time, reminding myself that nothing is infinite, but soul.

Last time I got massive flashback to those thoughts again, was after watching film "Melancholia".

I think now, I would wake up early morning with a sunset, slowly opening my eyes with full awareness of myself inside and surrounding, taking first breath as it is what makes us happy... i would go out then to hear first and last bird songs, feeling wind breeze and contemplating sky... I would not waste any second or time wont be meaningful for me anymore, but i would try to realise everything and appreciate. Black or white, good or bad... i wouldnt care anymore. Everything is everything and its how it is.

Yes, this is a wonderful post <3 Reading it, made me raise my frequency :) It is to me a good reminder to live every day as it was my last and to continue to be grateful for the simple things in life that I have often taken for granted. Thank you <3

that was such a beautiful response Auxillu. it looks like you actually know the important things in life, a beautiful sunrise, the wind and everything beautiful around us. we all need to learn to appreciate everything around us regardless of what it is. its there for a reason.

My, dear! Thank you for this beautiful post)))

It makes me so happy, when people share their divine experiences, how they start notice things... see beauty of life, and then tressure more what they have in the moment! I call this moments timelessness... it's beautiful! I wish it would be more post like this, here on starseeds)))) You made me happy)))

Hmm... what would I do, if it was the last day? I would want to spend it with all my beloved family and friends, and all children that exist! Somewhere on the beach, and beautiful ocean!)) We would dance, swim with dolphines, jump from trampoline into the water, play in games, sing songs, for I could hug and kiss everybody, for I could see how everybody is soo happy... we would have so much fun! This would be the best last day!!!)))

Forgive me for being cliche, but I guess I would help as many people as I could. I would give away everything I have, then happily take a nap in my empty room and wait for the end with no regrets. Hehehe, now that I read it, it seems fitting that I would want my last day on earth to end with me lazing about and sleeping.
