"Just another reminder not to waste time today and think you'll be more productive tomorrow," said a colleague, reflecting on Kirk. "Carpe diem."The older you get, the more frequent and more potent such reminders get. The accident. The diagnosis. The stroke. Such events may occur in your own life, the life of someone you love or the life of a public person. However the reminder arrives, it shows up like one of those emails marked with a red exclamation point:
Urgent! Do not ignore! Seize the day!
It's a lesson we have to learn over and over and never fully do. But we can at least try to heed the reminder.
