Transcending Death … ( 02 / 16 / 2014 )
It ' s really quite easy to die quite early , for life becomes easily lost in lack of attention . And this form of dying -- whether we are cleaning windows absentmindedly , writing a masterpiece dutifully , or caring for another person superficially -- is actually quite real . We might very well be fulfilling our obligations while we go through such motions , and yet when we do so blandly or routinely , we might as well already be dead .
So , my Friends , no matter what you end up choosing to do in this new & glorious day , I offer only this soft-yet-heartfelt incitement :
Stay Awake ! ... Pay Attention ! ... Remain Alive ! ( inspired by Nadia Boulanger )
