Celebrations of Life

Today I feel that I will be going from one extreme to the other. This morning I will be at the funeral of a friend. This evening I will be at my older brother's 50th birthday party. I was struck by the incongruence of these events.

When remarking on this to a friend, he replied that each is really a celebration of life: one on a new stage, another still chugging along here on Earth. I like that. It makes the disparity more understandable. Same idea, different emphasis.

Thanks, Ed.
