‘Til Death Do Us Part
We only have so much time on our little blue ball, known as Earth, and lately I have been working with the subject of death in the lives of my friends and community. In fact, one of my dear friends suffered the loss of his 32 yr-old daughter April 12th.
At the same time, I know at least two people whose mothers are in the hospital, and a third person whose friend was just diagnosed with cancer.
These things, while painful, remind us about how precious life is. When things are rough it is easy to point to something causing our hurt and suffering. But even when things are good, we often wonder if there is something more, something deeper that we’re missing. Then, even the good things don’t allow us to live with joy.
I’m sure we can come up with a million and three ideas behind the purpose of life, but we never really know how long we have here. Ultimately life is a vehicle of our self-expression and the best thing you can do is live it and count each moment with someone you love as the precious gift it is.
Moment of silence,
