I do understand the point you are getting to...really.  But having had two people in my family die without their "papers in order"...I realized that it means that your family is left to deal with lawyers and money issues instead of being able to simply be with the event of your passing.  So yes, my papers are in order.  It didn't take much of my time.  And now I am free to contemplate your question.  

Oh and I do have photos we took sending my brother's ashes down Mission Creek in an origami boat, in the rain.

dearest kit

 

i am sorry about your recent loss of two family members.

and of course you are correct, all forms of preparation are necessary.

and i am so happy to know that you have photos of your brother's ashes.

 

sometimes i forget, in my effort to understand, that many already understand.

 

looking forward to seeing you so soon!

love

k

I hope the note didn't feel like I was chastising you at all.  It's hard in the written word to convey tone sometimes.  Just sharing.  The interesting thing for me, as I contemplated your question, was that I don't think I'd do anything much different than I already am.  I love my life.  I know some amazing people who I share my heart with.  I'm awake to the beauty of the changing seasons.

I love teaching yoga.  I'm doing it...the living of my life.   The day to day of it is enough for me.  

 

See you in a few weeks.  Just booked my flights.  The last piece of trip is in place!

Troubleshooting Video Playback Mischief

  • Download the latest version of Firefox and restart your computer.
  • Download the latest Flash Player.
  • A slow connection will affect video playback. Allowing the video to "load" before viewing can help smooth this out. Here are the steps:
    - Press "Play" and allow the video to roll for a few moments.
    - Then, press "Pause" and allow the video to "load" before hitting "Play" again.
    - You will know the video is "loading" as the bar to the right of the play button darkens gray.
    - This will also give you the option to scroll forward and back more easily.
  • Report Problem to the Help Duck.
