Death Runs Beside You
March: On Death
March 12
Today's reflection was inspired by another poem by Stephen Crane: "I Saw a Man Pursuing the Horizon"
There is no person more human than the man pursuing the horizon. He is forever chasing life and eternally running from death.
Others will say it is futile, and he knows this to be true. A lesser being would take those words and concede, but not the human.
Until his legs give out, he will run on and on and on.
In what ways are you like the man pursuing the horizon?

- Reflection Question: In what ways am I like the man pursuing the horizon? Am I being too stubborn in my pursuit of life and escape from Death, or not stubborn enough?
