Writings: It’s nice to have each other….

Some days we have dying on the brain, don’t we?

Maybe we have a friend or cousin or grandma who is nearing their time of transition, and we get to hang out with them.

Sometimes we’re surprised, with a car wreck, or a heart attack,  or “the news” that we’re gonna die.

Sometimes we don’t need the reminder, and we take time to give dying the sense of wonder it calls for.

But at the end of the day, no matter where we or our friends are, on the path, it’s helpful to remind ourselves that we’re not alone. And – one of the beautiful things about being in this physical world is that we get to walk with each other towards home. And to walk each other home.

Doesn’t really matter who gets there first, or second.

Happy trails!

Love ya,
Brother Ian, with thanks to Ram Dass
