You know when somebody as unique, smart, and nice as Tony Snow loses life at a young age, it really makes you think about your own life.

It's the "life" itself, the spark, that is really something amazing. It's pretty easy to tell the difference between life and inanimate objects, like a rock and a tree.

The life itself is just about the most amazing thing in the universe. It's better than the nebula and other stuff even.

And the fact that we humans are aware of it and contemplate it is really "far out" too.

Now maybe Tony got a clue when he found out about the cancer, but from what I've heard on Fox News, he seemed to be clued in on what life was all about real early on.

As an aside, I have a friend who got a real bad diagnosis of cancer last year, and he seems to not have exactly "got it", sadly, he seems to be real bitter about it.

I have experienced a calm and sense of what is and is not important.

I did not know of your history, but this bit of wisdom goes beyond what one can learn in books.
