The Something and Nothing of Death

Death is ever present throughout life and the more we learn to face this fact the more death becomes a friend and ally, a wise advisor who encourages us to live life more fully. To make a relationship with death is to make a commitment to self-evolution and growth. To face death confers inner strength for it brings us more authentically into the moment, into the fullness of our lives; in other words, it brings us closer to freedom. Living wisely is to prepare for dying well, not for some promise of what will happen after death but because living wisely brings its own merit
