Am I loved? Did I love well?

I am still in "The Five Invitations."  The second invitation is "Welcome Everything, Push Away Nothing."  The section begins with a quote from Mizuta Masahide (never heard of him or her before) -
"Barn's burnt down -
Now
I can see the moon."
This is about the ninth time I have read these wise words.
But, this morning, I have been most struck by my post title "Am I loved?  Did I love well?"  Or more relevant today - Do I love well?"  The author, Frank Ostaseski, is writing that these two questions are what those who are near death ask.  Perhaps I am near death now?  Certainly nearer than yesterday.  Whatever.
