Coincidentally, our copy of The Sun magazine arrived this morning, and this month's theme appears at first glance to be death. Among a series of excerpts in "Sunbeams" on the penultimate page is this from Ursula K. Le Guin ("The Other World"): "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 I 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."
