Since coming up with the concept of this intimate socail experiment, I have asked myself the question a lot. What would I do? I always come to the same conclusion; I’d spend it with my family; my little boy, my little girl, their beautiful mother. It’s an easy decision. But then I ask myself again: what would I do?
Perhaps I’d just talk to them all, with the wonderment I still feel everytime my little boy responds and reacts. Maybe I’d read his bedtime story. Thinking about it is so difficult because it’s anguishing to even contemplate him having to deal with something like that. But what this simple little question: what would you do if you had just five minutes left to live? opens my eyes wide to what matters most to me. I embellish the thoughts with details:
What would I say?
What would I be listening too?
What time would it be?
Would they know I had just five minutes too?
Interpret your own five minutes how you will, but it’s a difficult and rewardig process to do it. Tell us on video, record directly from your webcam, upload an image, send an email – whatever way you’re comfortable sharing, it’s a worth doing….
