If one is to die, the spectacular views on the way down would be ideal last things to see. But it's likely the person contemplating suicide will find him/her self digging in and holding on for dear life -- and then realizing that life is indeed dear. Thanks for the post.

You’ve reminded my dark hours of the whispering glow that kindles even the deepest sufferer’s reflection. Yes, pain is natural and it is necessary, but it is not incessant! (Does that make it cessant?) We must motivate our smothering norms with faith in exception and growth; drive with our thoughts, nourish with our laughter, and live inside of our dreams and creations and open hearts.
