Living happens
To all of us.
Dying happens.
To all of us.
Yes, it can be sad and messy and powerful and
hard and normal and absurd and
everything in between.
hard and normal and absurd and
everything in between.
Because dying is
part of life.
So many of us think of life and death as two separate things.
It doesn’t have to be that way. In fact, the two are connected.
What if the things we cherish most in life were the same
things we carry with us toward death? Those moments that make us feel awake.
Loved. Human.
What if we could live our lives – fully – all the way to the end?
The Executive Director of Zen Hospice Project in San Francisco did a Ted Talk on Palliative Care. I was moved by this man's personal story but more moved by his passion for living life, finding beauty and joy in those moments that you think there just can't possibly be any. If you live or love you should watch this talk. It can teach all of us the importance of compassion.
