You have to remember one life, one death–this one! To enter fully the day, the hour, the moment whether it appears as life or death, whether we catch it on the inbreath or outbreath, requires only a moment, this moment.

A society that doesn't know any longer how to observe every death with proper rituals, that does not know that death is not the end, but only part of the journey, has lost its way, has had the very heart of its humanity torn out. Nov 24, 2024 - Fabian Biese>
It's normal to shy away from illness and death. It's natural to gravitate toward laughter and life. Nov 24, 2024 - Fabian Biese>
When I am dying, I should like my life taken out under general anaesthetic, exactly as if it were a diseased appendix. Nov 24, 2024 - Fabian Biese>
There was a roaring in my ears and I lost track of what they were saying. I believe it was the physical manifestation of unbearable grief. Nov 24, 2024 - Fabian Biese>
