Final Thoughts

Final Thoughts

To face death
openly and willingly
is not the same
as being careless.

To be careless is not to value Life
to take stupid risks
based on lazy selfish motives
like having casual unprotected sex
reckless recreational drug use
or sleepy, speedy, distracted driving.

To be careful is to take risks
in a measured way
to know the consequences
and proceed with caution,
but not without passion,
to live Life
and willingly meet death
with the simple thought 
“Here I go...”

(November 2015)
