The Sobriety of Death – Part 2

Why do we fill our days with endless activities? — of pushing ahead, climbing the ladder, etc. Life is about relationships….a vertical relationship with the Creator and horizontal relationship with other humans (our family, our friends, our neighbors, our co-workers, etc). As I look at someone like Sara Western Garavaglia who only had a little time on this earth, it forces me to evaluate “What am I doing?”, “Where am I spending my time”, and “What things am I doing that have any significance?” — I call the latter my sigificance meter……
If I honestly evaluate, I realize how much life I get out of spending time in relationship with others and how dead parts of my life are because of inane things I fill my time up with. I want to do things that have significance — things that matter……how about you?
