our glorious selves

I'm reading this great biography about Peter Barton. The author only knew him a few months before he passed away ... on one of his earlier visits with Peter, Shames talked about Peter's weakened physical condition and how amazed he was when Peter slipped over to the piano and started to pound out some really great songs, lifting both of their spirits. Then Shames said:

"I wondered if perhaps everyone, facing death, became extraordinary; if maybe each of us had untapped reserves of nerve and strength that might prove surprising, even glorious, at the end."

So here's my challenge to you, my blogging friends:

let's find those untapped reserves while we're strong and healthy and be glorious now!
