When I read this essay "The Present Is Where I live" it truly touched me! I work in an Emergency Room and I see people who are on their death bed everyday. You get to a point where your numb. Death doesn't bother you. You can't let it get to you because it will overcome you and take you down. In his essay he talks about his brushes with life and how it has helped with the lose of his loved ones.
Not many people understand death. It takes seeing death all the time or being at the grace of God for you to get it. I now am not afraid of death. I love life and as long as I am living in the present there is nothing more I can do.
The writer also talks about being with his loved ones as they pass. Let me tell you that it is not easy. I was by my grandmothers side as she took her last breath. It was sad of course and oddly happy at the same time. I knew she was in a better place and no longer had to deal with troubles of this world. I know she is now looking down upon me, watching over me and protecting me. So live for today...you never know when I may be your last!
