Mortality

I'm fine just couldnt poop. Early morning thoughts from a hospital bed in a rare moment of relative quiet. Only the machines designed to keep people alive can be heard whirring and blipping, beeping away the seconds as they pass. It all starts with Imagination and creativity. Out of the darkness came a voice, "Let there be light". (We will skip the whole creation part and go directly to the practical portion of or program)...
Authenticity is the goal, being real is the key. Discovering your true self and being faithful to it. Recognizing that everything evolves and must change, grow, decline and die. We are multifaceted, constantly evolving and shouldn't resist. We are given limited opportunities to have this portion of our experience.
Knowing ourselves is probably the best we can do. Sharing ourselves is the best we can offer. Being ourself is the objective. Not what others want or expect of us, but what is consistent with what we know about who we are, remembering we are in a constant state of flux and may want to do some remodeling every once in a while. In fact for me it has been a consistent necessity.

Life is good. Death isn't so bad. It reminds you; you only have a limited time! Be real.
