Why would anyone want to spend time thinking about death at all, much less their own?
Death might be the last great taboo, which is truly unfortunate since death is an integral part of life. It is one of only two universal aspects of life, the other is birth.
When we develop a relationship with the fact of our own mortality we open a door to living more intentionally and consciously. When we are aware of the preciousness of our time here we gain a certain impetus to live more true to our purpose and to embrace the now and not wait for the perfect moment to do the things we are drawn to and called to do and be.
Death is not our enemy, and when we choose to see it, like birth, as another powerful mystery of life, something sacred, something blessed, a wise teacher and guide that helps to live more fully and authentically, then death enhances and benefits our lives enormously.
