Well, I had my hospice training today and it was emotionally difficult. We learned that when people get the diagnosis of terminal, they want to do what they need to do to die in peace. They want to take that special vacation or learn a new skill or mend broken relationships.
Today, taught me just how much truth resides in my post, "How I live". As I thought about what I learned in my training, I kept coming back to one thing. Life is sacred.
We all occassionally daydream about winning the lottery.... without realizing that we already have. We have life. And we spend that life with every breath we take. Somehow, in the grand scheme of things I don't think it is a mistake that we begin the death process with our very first breath.
Personal truth IS subjective but my truth is MY truth and my truth is what makes me genuine. Perhaps, our personal truth is life's gift to us. And maybe this gift that life gives us, is our instruction manual for how we are to live. Authentically and genuinely. Realizing that we are but one among many and our job is to find our place....like a piece in a puzzle. No one can know my reality, my truth and I cannot know anyone elses but I do know this. Life is sacred and life is to be honored and we can only honor our life by living it authentically and genuinely; moment by moment.
gently,laura
