Birth gives individuals lives of possibilities.
Existences rife with purpose and motion.
Living will be the death of us.

Well said Susi. Life with all its challenges does lead to death. It is the in between time that matters

My opinion is that this is part of the reason for the cordiality we are seeing during the confirmation hearing. Shame appropriate discourse didn’t happen during Kavanaugh hearings.

Love this piece, Susi! It is beautiful because life is beautiful and manages to lend some light to death.

Thanks, Jaya! I’m glad you think it is beautiful and I would agree that life can and does offer positive moments for some. But sadly, not for all. I generally like to point out the obvious reality of things with most of my posts and also not glossing over the harshness and even the mediocrity of it. I guess I would hope that we always find the balance, now that would be truly beautiful, IMO. :) Thanks for commenting, Jaya!
