I cannot pretend that I am without fear.
But my predominate feeling is one of gratitude.
I have loved and been loved; I have been given much
and I have given something in return.
Above all, I have been a sentient being, a thinking animal,
on this beautiful planet, and that in itself has been
an enormous privilege and adventure.
