From Mindful Magazine: "High school seniors at The Harley School in Rochester, New York, have the option of taking a class called “Hospice.” Most who sign up for it don’t know what they’re in for. And none of them forget the experience when it’s over." Watch the trailer (above) for David Marshall's documentary film about the hospice class.
“Put a bird on your shoulder. That's what the Buddhists do. Just imagine a little bird on your shoulder and every day you say, ‘Is this the day I'm going to die, little bird? Am I leading the life I want to lead? Am I the person that I want to be?’ If we accept the fact that we can die at any time, we'd lead our lives differently. So every day you say, ‘Is this the day?’” ~ from the book "Tuesdays With Morrie" by Mitch Albom
