Near-Death Experience

No light, no heavenly choir and certainly no sense of omnipresent Divine love but a few months ago I came pretty close to dying. Not close enough to death to experience anything on or from the “other side” but it was quite frightening. If nothing else, nearly dying has reinforced to me how precious this shared life and experience really is. The vanity, pride and greed that afflict so many – it is a terrible, futile and meaningless thing and, yes, life is really very, very short.
