You are a beautiful person$$$ Doctor. Clearheaded. Strong. But you seem always to be dragging your heart along the ground. From now on$$$ little by little$$$ you must prepare yourself to face death. If you devote all of your future energy to living$$$ you will not be able to die well. You must begin to shift gears$$$ a little at a time. Living and dying are$$$ in a sense$$$ of equal value."--Nimit in "Thailand
