What do you possess that matters most and is of greatest value?

Material things?
Wealth?
Property?
Heirlooms?
Art?

Yes they all hold “value”, in the world at large. Do you possess them, or are they in your possession? I know, existential semantics.

Truly the only things that each of us possess are time and thoughts.

When we cease to exist, both time and our thoughts cease to exist. To the end that there is no tangible proof otherwise.

So time and thoughts…

Precious, both. Priceless and irreplaceable. Share them with those who love you and value your time and thoughts. Our true possessions, everything else, is fodder that distracts us from truly living and loving.

All too often, it takes a mortal wound, or in this case, a terminal condition, to help us realize this truth.
