When the time is up
“Being told you are dying is not the same thing as dying.” – Stephen Jenkinson, How it All Could Be
My wife thinks I’m obsessed with death.
I don’t demur.
In fact, I’d say it is or is fast becoming my ‘thing’ – not that I see it as something to sell; In any event, I don’t suspect I’d have many takers!
In my bailiwick – perhaps yours too – we don’t talk about death nor do we even like to peddle in word voodoo; namely, by using the ‘D’ [death] word we will hasten our demise. It’s all euphemisms or we dance around the issue as best we know how.
For me, that does death and life – yours and mine – a grave disservice by dint of the fact that how we think and come to our death is the cradle of our life.
Think about that last sentence for just a minute.
Imagine, as I’ve spoken to so very often, going to bed tonight and not knowing if you’ll wake up the next day. OK perhaps the stats are with you – i.e. you’re supposed to live to your mid-80s – but since when did you live your life according to a set a numbers that are based on means, averages and what’s happened to everyone else?
You do?
Really?
I wouldn’t advise it if for no other reason than when you get the tap on the shoulder, you’re going to suffer (more than likely) a wretched anxiety in having had taken from you your allotted years.
Me, well, I’m in the camp that has no expectation of going to bed and waking up the next day. That doesn’t mean I’m living atop the razor-wire of anxiety that so often fuels my lawyering days. No, on my better days, I sit betwixt the rough gods and the elixir of love that is less a tonic for the wilderness of my work and more in the realm of making me fit to burst in light, a nurturing hand to all of nature and to live with the idea that I’m animal or animistic in my deepest hue.
What am I really saying?
Make death a deity. Consider her something that can and should guide your every waking moment. And stop running long enough to ask yourself a devilishly simple question, namely:
What is this?
And if you’re inclined, I’d love to know what shows up.
Take care dear pilgrims of the Tumblr universe.
Blessings and much love, Julian
