I was in a cab last night with Honorio, Kim, and Samitro on our way back to the hostel from Naharya. Three of us sat in the back, and Samitro in the front. The cab driver was friendly, but quiet. The moon was full and brilliant again, like it was bragging to us how beautiful it can be.
On this trip, Samitro asked us what song we would use to describe life at that very instant. I said I would use "There is a Light that Never Goes Out" by The Smiths. It's a great song if you haven't listened I suggest it. Anyway, the lyrics go something like "...and if a double decker bus crashes into us, to die by your side would a heavenly way to die". I just soaked in the those lyrics and realized, finally, that I'm guaranteed to die one day. Then I started thinking that maybe I'm not taking enough chances in life and that I should be enjoying every breathing moment. It's ironic I thought about this while riding near the perfect coastline at night with the full moon's reflection shining on the Galilee Sea. Breathtaking scenery, good friends...and I'm thinking I'm not enjoying life enough.
