How do you choose?
How do you choose living while you are dying?
:- Doug.
Life and death choice points are not about choosing life or death, but choosing life and death, life within death.

Black wholes
Density upon density
Immensity compacting immensity
For touching life
Books give way to handwritten letters
Poetry packs more in
Till words themselves are
Sucked into life’s immense denseness
Silence
Black Wholes

If our neighbor has no food
If our neighbor has no food, dare we withhold ours? If in prison, do we visit? If caught stealing a loaf of bread to feed his children, do we insist he be thrown into prison? How does this speak to us when our neighbor is from our neighbor country, Mexico? How are we called upon to struggle with being charitable—loving—with this person, especially when we find being charitable is not a black and white thing?
