When we bring death into our lives, we begin to live fully. To integrate and to view life from that perspective of non-duality; at least a level of it. To see that opposites depend on each other. To know hot means we had to know cold. To know light, means we had to know dark, and so to know life, means that maybe we had to know death. You're here, you're alive and hopefully well. Go do something with that.
