“By 'coming to terms with life' I mean: the reality of death has become a definite part of my life; my life has, so to speak, been extended by death, by my looking death in the eye and accepting it, by accepting destruction as part of life and no longer wasting my energies on fear of death or the refusal to acknowledge its inevitability. It sounds paradoxical: by excluding death from our life we cannot live a full life, and by admitting death into our life we enlarge and enrich it.” MeanRealityEyeEnergySpeakSoundTermAcceptingOur LivesDestructionAcknowledgeDefiniteFear Of DeathRefusalParts Of LifeAdmittingInevitabilityParadoxicalFull LifeReality Of Death Author:Etty Hillesum

I hope they receive something, because trees are among my closest friends.” GivingFeelingsFormEnergyWhiteImagineTreeClosestDefiniteGiving BackClosest FriendsWavelength Author:Anne LaBastille
