I'm so fascinated and excited that you did this and were able to make such a clear record of it. (how *did* you remember what happened on each day?) Can't wait to chat about it more. Kick ass, dear friend, kick ass! ps - how much did you *love* when Goenke said the thing about "button-hole eyes"? was that not the most endearing thing ever ? :-) what an amazing experience!

Long time no... anything. You need to post more. Anyway, I came back to this post cause these ideas are on my mind a lot lately. I recently looked into volunteering at a hospice care center out in Cambridge. I see what you're saying about spirituality as best applied toward living in the present rather than always projecting toward what comes next, and yet I find an emphasis on the process of death itself as helpful to this end. I haven't done it yet, so I don't know how it will change me, but empathetically engaging others while they learn to accept an inevitable transition seems like a good way to retrain the brain toward focusing on what is, in the attempt to discard anxiety about what isn't or what could be. Also, I fancy the idea that "the more I read, the less I know" with the sense that "no one else knows anything, either" is the desired affect. That our relationship to the present hinges on how we relate the unknown in everything... So on that note, post more things for me to read dammit! Hey Christian! Long time no… anything.
