What I see: A glorious view at ground level of sunshine through yellow tulips.

What I feel: I would love to wake up to see that, or go to sleep ... or go to sleep to this world, to go to the only place where there could be greater beauty.

An interesting way to say goodbye to this world, to feel those tulips and the sensation of freedom.

This is one of the most heartfelt writings I read in the past weeks. A beautiful way of leaving among what you love most and starting something new.

How I wish hospitals would let go of their clients to experience this
