Playing Around With Death

I’ve been reading Peter Kreeft’s (published ’92) “Love is Stronger than Death”.   There are some pages in it that really strike home.   I want to write about that because it might start to explain things, things about me and things about the Cancer Camino.

Here is a paragraph that I am going to copy so you can read it:  “One very important aspect  of post-mortem life is that everything gets doubly precious, gets piercingly important.  You get stabbed by things, by flowers and by babies and by beautiful things – just the very act of living, of walking and breathing and eating and having friends and chatting.  Everything seems to look more beautiful rather than less, and one gets the much intensified sense of miracles.”  Kind of sounds like my morning.  Well, that is a little jokie but I think that in general it  is what I have experienced for the last few years.

Post- mortem life translates to life after a point when a person could have well died as in after dodging a bullet.   Some of this is conscious as in,  ‘Man, it feels good to be alive!” and some seems to just be present otherwise.   Anyway, just what I am thinking about today.  More insights to come out of this book I am sure.  Thanks for being here for me, love, Felipe.

  1. Beautiful, Phil. Just like you. Thank you for your continuing friendship as we walk our Caminos, all of us, near and far, farmer and city dweller. You have connected us in a way that we all benefit. I know I do! Lots of love to you, Felipe! Peace-Annie

    1. Thank you Annie. It is just growing organically and here we are, right? Seems to be, love, Felipe.
