Death and Choice

I wonder... what if you flipped it and CHOSE...

or at least chose a few things that might be how it ends...

 eg... I am happy if I die from xxxx

I know myself over the last 2 years have been in a somewhat of a 'choice' situation...

and it reminded me of a conversation of when I was pushing dad around in a wheelchair in the last days of his life...

We were talking about our final things... having our final conversations... chatting about the important things...

Life, proudness and to help mum when he is gone because she will need you now more than ever...

One of the things I did say, and luckily we laughed about... was...

"At least you know you won't get alzheimers or dementia"

We both had a laugh and dad seemed quite relieved that it was certainly true!

It was something he feared he would get in his life time...

However... what if we chose...

Is there some strength in at least saying it and the acceptance of things that come with it... and in doing so the 'life' that comes with it...

For example... if you LOVE the outdoors... maybe if some sort of outdoor related cancer or disease might be ok... because of the LIFE you enjoyed in doing so...

Maybe similar to people who do extreme activities... If they LOVE something so much that they are comfortable to die from it, then maybe they have truely lived...

The same may be true for people making political change and either being in physical harm or prison fighting for a cause...

I wonder if the fear of death or the priority of not dying... is actually stealing a full spectrum of life from so many people...

Maybe the world would look differently...

Myself I know I put myself in many situations almost weekly where only a small percentage of the population would not die...

It is super interesting thing to ponder and maybe comes back to...

Die from Living...

Or at least make sure you are packing in as much living into your life as possible...

Be inspired by other people LIVING...

Feeling their bodies as this amazing vehicle on this earth...

Simply being alive is not living...

How will you LIVe this magical life?
