Reflections: Making Sense of Life (Hardback or Cased Book)

My body language and the tenor of my conversations change as death draws near.

The parents understand and stay close.

Closeness at the end helps.

Some events feel significant. They expose a fundamental truth.

Spirituality isn't intellectual. It's a feeling.

This feeling confirms the truth and resonates deeply and clearly;

there's no doubt.

These experiences act as turning points and become stories.

What the ancients call the soul

is where spirituality resides in the brain.

The narratives mature over time and help us make sense of life.

When people realize it's our similarities that bind us together,

perhaps spirituality will unite us.
