If
life really belonged to us, we could say: "I’m not going to
grow old, get sick, or die". Well, we can say that; it’s easy,
but it happens to us anyway. And we cannot even count on growing old;
no-one knows his span of days.
Once,
while working on a tall stool, I stepped backwards to get down, but
missed my footing and fell, unable to control my fall. The back of my
head struck with a loud crack on the floor, and I lay there, thinking
I was dead. But then I opened my eyes and …… wonderful! I was
still alive!
We
don’t have to try to die; it happens to us naturally, and sometimes
suddenly and without warning.

Life is fragile,
and trembles
in the balance,
like a dewdrop
on a lotus-leaf.
