thoughts on Death and Dying

Each of us is born with

A spirit

Sacred name

Clan or nation

Gifts or talents

Destiny in which we will face many challenges

Four stages in the journey of the human spirit

Birth

Life

Death

Afterlife

I would like to talk with my family about death mine and theirs.

I want it to be present as a possibility – known and spoken

Sure its scary but it should also not hit us as a complete surprise – it is a reality anytime anywhere

I would like the knowledge to be out in the open

     not locked away shoved in a back drawer of the mind...

I can embrace life and loved ones knowing our time is inevitably limited.

Enjoying truly what is. Now.
