Reading from this chapter again, and pleased to be living with a “new normal” that is far less “normal” than my life before colon surgery, I am even more in agreement with TFAIE than I was initially, and, initially, it greatly expanded my appreciation for life as experience rather than mere physical stasis. Thank god there are people whose creativity is not limited to Rifkin and his ilk’s paint-by-number approach to what’s natural.

Oddly enough, from my in-box this morning I received a quote by Raven Leilani (have no idea who this is, which makes it even better) that expresses my personal response to this post: “Imagine living life so carefully that there are no signs you lived at all.”
