Lesson #2: Death is to be practiced daily
● Where do you need to die today?
"Lay your life down. Your heartbeats cannot be hoarded. Your reservoir of breaths is draining away. You have hands, blister them while you can. You have bones, make them strainthey can carry nothing in the grave. You have lungs, let them spill with laughter. [In my remaining hours] I could be smiling or scowling, rejoicing in my life, in this race, in this story, or moaning and complaining about my troubles. I can be giving my fingers, my back, my mind, my words, my breaths, to my wife and my children and my neighbors, or I can grasp after the vapor and the vanity for myself, dragging my feet, afraid to die and therefore afraid to live. And, like Adam, I will still die in the end." - N.D. Wilson, Death by Living
