A new day dawns. it's bright outside, birds are chirping and I feel a pensive sense that today may bring about one more step in "the right direction". This morning will start with our first "Death Cafe" event. I was thinking briefly this morning about how it came about; the decades of interest in living wakes, open dialog on value and impact, my own ongoing exploration into a point of complete comfort with mortality, Linda, Jen, going "Zen", and faking it until you're making it. It's a continous practice and effort to maintain, let alone sustain. This past week felt like my classic struggle between impulse and perspective. All around are opportunities to distract or attract, wherein conviction and confidence determine the direction. It will be interesting to see where things go next. Lauren is hopefully coming down for a 2-night stay, so my attention will be on enjoying familytime.
