“I remember looking out into that dark night sky, and I remember feeling something I hadn’t in a long time – I want to live. Having found myself that close to death, I suddenly knew that I wasn’t ready to die. I experienced awe and wonder at this world we live in. How incredible existence is. The probability of our being here, of having survived as a species on this tiny speck of a planet. I was gripped with a desire to keep going – to experience more of this thing we call existence. It dawned on me how precious life is.”
