I should have died that night. I should have died there or the other times I was nearly blown up.
If the alarm was a sign from Eddie, then I believe it was more than a sign of gratitude. I believe it was a wake-up call.
I have pictures of my bar mitzvah. There are lots from my wedding. Somewhere, there is even a videotape of my birth that I regret having watched once. We cherish the markers in life that signal our progress and try to capture those moments for the future.
I gave birth to a rich afterlife realm. Judgment, adventure, insight, amazement... it's all there.
My Journey (video) I'm on Earth to cultivate my soul. I can grow a raisin, a peach, or a plum perhaps. I want mine to be a watermelon! I'm here for a reason. I'm here to make my soul juicy; a big fat juicy watermelon.
We can live life with the focus on the inevitability of death... or we can live life with hope.
