Ever since my father died a few months ago, the transitory nature of existence has occupied my mind. If he -with his powerful presence- no longer exists, then everything else will also end in time. This vision may seem depressing, but it has freed me from my worries about the future.
For as far back as I can remember, my dad had a toenail infection. After decades trying to heal it, he finally found a medicine that worked. When the funeral home came to take his body, the last thing I saw, as they closed the bag that contained him, was a perfect toenail on his foot. We fret about things that come and go, when what we can always have is the awesome experience of being alive.
