GRATITUDE - OLIVER SACKS LEINEN

In his final days  renowned neurologist and author Oliver Sacks reflects on his remarkable life
with profound gratitude and poignant insight.   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 . .
.  In a series of beautifully written and uplifting meditations  Dr Sacks reflects on and gives
thanks for a life well lived  expressing 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.   In Gratitude   the late Oliver Sacks offers a profound meditation on the human
experience  the passage of time  and the gift of life itself. A moving testament to a brilliant
mind and a life well lived.
