Another memorial -- please don't read if it'll upset.



"I think...that when I die, I can breathe back the breath that made me live. I can give back to the world all that I didn't do. All that might have been and couldn't be. All the choices I didn't make. All the things I lost and spent and wasted. I can give them back to the world. To the lives that haven't been lived yet. That will be my gift back to the world that gave me the life I did live, the love I loved, the breath I breathed."

-- The Other Wind, Ursula K. LeGuin

b'shay.

(I accept that the spelling is almost certainly incorrect - Google has failed me, and I can't think of any way of looking it up. But it feels like the right response to that. The intention of the word, and not so much the spelling.)
