I have kept these pictures in my big book for five years now. They are getting old so I thought I should scan them. I was very sick in then and did not even know it. I have many more that demonstrate just how close to death I was how ever these are the prime examples that I have and I keep them around as a reminder.
As well as being reminders of a grim past they have served me as a beautiful lesson in impermanence. All things change fall away and die or end. All phases of life, living and experience all have a beginning an apex and an end. These cycles of existence are ever changing and unavoidable. I have found for me the joy in realizing this fact has freed me from the suffering that comes with these facts. As long as I avoid the clinging to the good and the aversion of the bad and just experience what is in the here and now all things are beautiful.
The miracle of mindfulness has truly been the greatest gift ever allowed for me today
