-Cassandra Clare

You say: “He lost his life” or “my life”, as if life were something that you can possess or lose. The truth is: you don’t have a life, you are life. The One Life, the one consciousness that pervades the entire universe and takes temporary form to experience itself as a stone or blade of grass, as an animal, a person, a star or a galaxy.
-Eckhart Tolle "Eckhart Tolle"
That best portion of a man's life; his little, nameless, unremembered acts of kindness and love.
