Another picture

Sharing another picture of one of my evenings at Times Square. Strolling alone to soak in the energy level in Manhattan. This evening, I went to the hospital to visit Granny again. She does not look too good today, and I fear that she is suffering.

People may fear that accepting and thinking about death will make them morbid, or spoil their enjoyment of life's pleasures. But surprisingly, the opposite is true. Denying death makes us tense; accepting it brings peace. And it helps us become aware of what is really important in life - for example, being kind and loving to others, being honest and unselfish--so that we will put our energy into those things and avoid doing what would cause us to feel fear and regret in the face of death. -- Ven Sangye Khardo
