March 22, DEATH

Perhaps the deepest reason why we are afraid of death is because we do not know who we are. We believe in a personal, unique and separate identity; but if we dare to examine it, we find that this identity depends entirely on endless collection of things to prop it up; our name, our 'biography', our partners, family, home, job, friends, credit cards... It is on their fragile and transient support that we rely for our security.

Many thanks to my dear friend J who shares with me her books of wisdom!
