We would rather think about life. Why reflect on death? When you start preparing for death you soon realize that you must look into your life now… and come to face the truth of your self. Death is like a mirror in which the true meaning of life is reflected. ~ Sogyal Rinpoche&lt;/h4&gt;

Today, though, I highly recommend the above book to all the baby boomers out there who have been in the least bit concerned about aging.  Notice that this book is not about aging gracefully but about &amp;ldquo;The Grace in Aging.&amp;rdquo;  The concerns here are not about what&amp;rsquo;s on the outside but what&amp;rsquo;s on the inside.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
