“The reality of death has come upon us and a consciousness of the power of God has broken our complacency like a bullet in the side. A sense of the dramatic, of the tragic, of the infinite, has descended upon us, filling us with grief, but even above grief, wonder. Our plans were so beautifully laid out, ready to be carried to action, but with magnificent certainty God laid them aside and said, ‘You have forgotten — Mine?’” Flannery O’Connor. I personally benefit from taking a meditative walk around cemeteries…we all need to be ready for the day when God decides to call us!
