On the edge of death, reborn.
He that climbed the tower high,
To fling his wingless body to the ground,
Upon seeing the world that angels see;
Being eye level with the rising sun,
Suddenly saw, through thick walls of gloom,
The true resplendence of Earth
And longed to live much longer;
Longed to see much more.

Thankyou, pia. I thought it would make a nice story; a man about to jump off a tall building sees the beautiful view from up high and has an epiphany. JoHn

Oh look, a link. I wonder where it leads.

What a tale you tell here. I have witnessed this happen. "... Longed to see much more..." Alas to late for this person.

I think that people can often get a kind of tunnel vision; focussing on one part of life: Job/ Family/Relationships etcetera and not realize that there are so many hundreds of thousands of millions of good things in life outside of whatevers making them unhappy. Woody Allen is one of the things that has enriched my life: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5CSaACD54HU JoHn
