Yesterday the Angel of Death poked me in the ribs and then gently whispered, " Scared you didn't I?---Meant too. Sometimes it is the only way to remind you. What are you doing and why are you doing it? Your mind is always racing...your body is trying to keep up...you worry about the future...you worry about the past...It is amazing that you don't have warts from head to toe...there is never enough time in the day to do everything you think you NEED to do!----You aren't here...now...stop grasping...stop gasping...stop trying to hand crank the universe. Be present with what you have right now. Love the friends and family that surround you...right now. Don't miss what is really going on by trying to be somewhere you are not. There is no there there."
My sister-in-law survived her brain surgery and the family can now celebrate Thanksgiving in true gratitude. It's funny isn't it, how the finality of death can awaken you to the infinite quality of love.
