Wake Up Call, It’s Life

Each day as part of my morning ritual, I go to www.thebreastcancersite.com, read the story from today’s contributor and click the button, which through advertisers donates to free mammograms. The stories are all different and all the same in one way; there is a reverence for life and valuing the support of others as a basic ground of being.

I wonder why it takes the experience of possible death for us to truly appreciate life?


Death as Teacher






At sixteen I became less concerned about whether I lived and more concerned about how I live.



I wonder whether there is any other way to have this experience other than recognizing that our lives are fragile (the possibility of imminent death)?





Reality Check






Unless there is breaking news I have not heard, death is inevitable.



Why would I want to do anything other than the most important thing I can see to do in this the last moment of which I have any guarantee?
