REALITY?: Connecting

Odd; a fifteen minute phone conversation with my husband’s friend. More than a friendly “Hi, how are you? Yes please, may I talk to Jim?” Starting from words of simple understanding we wind around to heaven and beyond. It’s strange, and yet stranger still that every human being has this one thing in common, life and death, and yet we don’t discuss it. But slowly, brought about by circumstances, we reach out. We show the fears for what they are, indeed ours are for others or our loss, and often find in someone else the feeling of adventure for ourselves. How we see death, I think, determines how we live our lives.
