It is a constant part of the living universe. We are confronted by it daily. It lies at the very edge of our senses, a constant reminder of our own mortality.

And Lighter Things...While love and death may provoke a strong emotion from each of us, it is levity that revitalizes the soul. Love helps us to see the beauty in the world, while mirth helps us to appreciate it.
