The Awareness of Death

Death stands next to each moment, forcing us to fully soak it up, to let it wash over us and to hold onto it with all we have, for it is passing into nothingness. And yet in that activity we discover that the depth of experience is without bounds and that life has a quality to it that is beyond the facts of it's passing away, bringing us to the conviction that the moment passes not into nothingness, but into something beyond imagining.
