Thanks so much, @team101.It certainly seems like, if we can make peace with, and come to terms with our own mortality and transcience, life can be lived so much more fully.

I’m reminded of the stage play “Our Town,” and the main character revisiting memories as a ghost—her birthday party, I think it was—and exclaiming in desperation that everyone was together and everything was so precious and beautiful, but everyone in the scene was caught up in their own world, and didn’t even really notice the beauty and preciousness of it all. Life. Love. The people surrounding us...

I left organized religion a few years back, but I cannot help but feel something beyond. There are experiences and impressions beyond words. Life is such a mystery. What do I know? I don’t even know how my brain is causing my fingers to type this right now. It makes me feel humble, and in awe.

Really appreciate your thoughts. God bless, and have a great day.
