On the one hand
Living and dying are a continuum.
You can’t have one without the other.
And there is a point where
things change.
It is identifiable
or not, depending
on circumstances
I’ve crossed over.
I’m dying.
I feel it in my bones,
In my heart.
There is an intimacy to it
As I work to share it
with those I am closest to.
There is a sadness
that is beautiful.

Courage comes in all sizes
And shapes.
It can find you
(Or not)
When you cross
A line without
Knowing it.
And then there are those,
like Hannah Arendt,
German-Jewish political philosopher
who, eyes open,
reject a
comfortable niche
consistent with the
status quo.
Hannah was offered
opportunities to back down,
but didn’t.
Choosing engagement
Without cooptation.
A voice for our times
Brilliant and politically incorrect.

I like writing it.
I love reading it.
What I love most of all
is the connection it creates
as we share our love,
our disappointment,
our hope for a better world.
Magic.
