February: On Life
February 16
Today's reflection was inspired by a quote from E. E. Cummings' poem "Suppose."
Life wouldn't be what it is without Death: fleeting, fragile, precious.
And part of Life is slowly building a relationship with Death. We see it all around us in many shapes and forms. Sometimes brutally obvious in wars, sometimes as subtle as a a flower losing its petals in autumn.
The important thing is to not run from Death, but to cherish Life while you have it--like an old man holding flowers on his head.
