on Death & Dying … (09/30/13)
A Fare-Well Greeting … Death is a funny thing, really … It is always looming over us; believing most arrogantly that it will ultimately “win the game” when our time runs out; when our essence of warmth is claimed by its icy hands; when our internal spark is extinguished and both who we are and […]
