24 Hours To Go

What do you do when you have less than 24 hours to go before an operation that could very well define the rest of your life? Matters are out of your control. It reminds me of the verse from Jonah, "All the sailors were afraid and each cried out to his own god" (1:5). That is pretty much where we are. To pass the time today, we have talked to friends and family, taken a walk in the park, read poetry, and hugged, a lot.

The question of existance never gets straightened out except through existing itself. (Heidegger, BT)
