Living and Dying
Living and dying……not so very different really. I am watching my friend Nancy learning how to die. I watch my daughter, Willa, learning how to live. Doing both is what I am about these days. Dying to old passages, people, thoughts, ways of being…….opening up to living something new, whatever that will be.
Sometimes the days are filled with such deep introspection there are no words. And some days, I just want to go out to lunch, or get in the car and start driving, to anywhere.
Casual conversation is quite irritating, like fingernails on a chalk board. Deep feelings, quiet spaces full of richness and learning deeper patience fill my spirit.
Living and dying……..each side of the coin………..explains the whole.
