Life is a continuous cycle of birth and death. Each experience begins and then ends. Each experience is born and then dies. And the death of your last experience was the birth of this experience. Birth and death are not things we experience only once in life, in the beginning and in the end. They are things we experience every day and in every moment.
I am no longer afraid of dying, but at times, I am afraid of losing my life. And those are two very different things. I love my life, and I love that I am getting to spend my life with all of you.
Try not to kill harmless insects and spiders that come into your house. Show them mercy. I hope if you are ever in the wrong place at the wrong time that someone will do the same for you. Feel free to kill mosquitoes, wasps, and hornets, though. They are pure evil.
My new year started with Samhain. I’m not going to let Pope Gregory XIII and the Gregorian calendar boss me around.
