It's great, John, what you have written here and part of your legacy of writing. It is also a reminder to us to never take tomorrow for granted, and rather live as if this day was the last. Your post raises questions that are important to ask, if we want to live with awareness. We are so interconnected, we humans. Whatever we do, think or feel, it all ripples out into the "grid". That is sobering. How others perceive us is their business, we can have no demands there. (It's not about caring or not, it's about always leaving others free to act and react from THEIR point of view.) And that is so before our death as well as afterwards. Our job is to consider how WE will show up in the world. I have thought a LOT about that. My present stance is this: I am who I am, and that is enough, and I give everyone the same right. We are all equals, part of the same Whole. I aim to be of service to the best of my ability, not to be thanked but as an expression of my truth. I show up with honesty, because I have nothing to hide. I am rather fearless, because I have been to the bottom of my self,
and met all the fear, the shit, the pain. And I came out on the other side. Free.
