I am coming, oh light

I found myself not writing a patient's diary; but I write events and feelings, what I experienced and what I learned, a biography of myself and my generation as well. And without realizing it, I moved my book from the private to the public, and thus I shifted between scientific explanation to news of political developments, and from refuting myths about what is called "alternative medicine" to following the death of Queen Elizabeth, contemplating death and life. If my salvation was achieved by some miracle, I strive toward that light which increased my knowledge of and appreciation for it during my illness days, and I will give what I can as a token of gratitude for being fortunate with an illuminating wife, and a father and mother who are also illuminating, and with many friends whose light reassures me of the truth of goodness in the world. And if fate grants me the time that the doctors have decreed, I hope that what comes after my passing will be light and tranquility, and that some light will pass through this book to those who read it.
