This Moment


A man who meant a great deal to me died last night. Another person who means a lot to me is in the process of dyeing. This got me thinking that death is close to me right now. Then I remembered that death is always close to me. I sit and watch Phoebe catch bugs in mid air. That is death for Bug. I see Robin eating Worm. That is death for Worm.

This is also the continuation of life for Phoebe and Robin. Life and death are continually interweaving, and each unfolds in it's own time. Death will come to me as well, just as life has. Today, I choose to take up the death of this dear man, and the impending death of this dear woman as reminders that all I have is this moment right here right now. What I choose to do with this moment can be a testament to the respect I have for these dear people and all they brought to my life.
