Things change in the time it takes to breathe. – Sass Jordan
Life is fragile. We hear this often. We think we know this.
We don’t have a clue.
Friend, do me a favor right now as you’re reading this: Take a breath.
(Go ahead, breathe.)
This.
This is how close you are to it.
This is your proximity to the end of you.
We are all having a near death experience in this life.
As we breathe, eat, sing, work, laugh, argue, sleep and do all manner of seemingly ordinary living, we do it all just an onion skin’s thinness from the threshold to whatever awaits us beyond this place.
In our most mundane and uneventful moments we are tightly pressed up against the edge of eternity.
~ John Pavlovitz
