GRATITUDE - OLIVER SACKS LEINEN

Oliver Sacks died in August 2015 at his home in Greenwich Village  surrounded by his close
friends and family. He was 82. He spent his final days doing what he loved: playing the piano 
swimming  enjoying smoked salmon - and writing . . .   As Dr Sacks looked back over his long 
adventurous life his final thoughts were of gratitude. In a series of remarkable  beautifully
written and uplifting meditations  in Gratitude Dr Sacks reflects on and gives thanks for a
life well lived  and expresses his thoughts on growing old  facing terminal cancer and reaching
the end.   I cannot pretend I am without fear. But my predominant feeling is one of gratitude.
I have loved and been loved  I have been given much and I have given something in return  I
have read and travelled and thought and written. I have had an intercourse with the world  the
special intercourse of writers and readers. Above all  I have been a sentient being  a thinking
animal  on this beautiful planet  and that in itself has been an enormous privilege and
adventure.
