• Description:
  Oliver Sacks is a national treasure who recenlty learned he's dying. Here is what he said: "I cannot pretend I am without fear. But my predominant feeling is one of gratitude. I have loved and been loved; I have been given much and I have given something in return; I have read and traveled and thought and written. I have had an intercourse with the world, the special intercourse of writers and readers. Above all, I have been a sentient being, a thinking animal, on this beautiful planet, and that in itself has been an enormous privilege and adventure." Thank you Oliver Sacks for sharing your awesome talents-your 'privilege and adventure'-with the world. This new dot over New York on the World Gratitude Map is for YOU.
