My brother recently died, after battling cancer for several years. He spent his limited time reaching out and adventuring with friends and family. Nothing focuses your mind like knowing your time here is limited.
I am so sorry to hear about your loss Tom. “Nothing focuses your mind like knowing your time here is limited.” I think that understanding is so critical for us to be pulled by love. There is a question I come back to often, are you more afraid of living of dying?
That was somewhat enlightening…interesting

That’s a powerful story. And definitely a lot of interesting layers. I hope you have the chance for a 2nd conversation with him in the coming months.
Things can really crystallize for some as they face their own mortality.
Being a witness to that can be powerful for all who are privileged to be invited along for someone’s last trail.
Being able to witness a part of someone else’s lived experience is a true gift.
