Today the sky is doing this half storm cloud/half sunny skies thing. It's a cool work of natural art.
I have to write a paper today about whether the good ol' U.S. of A is a death-denying culture. Welllllllllll, yeahhhhhhh, I'd say we probably are.
One of my friends called the other day to say that her mom went for a check-up and has tumors all over body and they can't operate. I realize, that although the news of my dad was devastating to me, I'm really lucky that I didn't get news like that.
So yeah, I'd say that we definitely are a death-denying culture...cause when death enters our lives, we go into shock. At least I did. And now it seems to surround me. But it surrounds all of us, doesn't it? It's inevitable.
And yet, we deny it.
Can you count how many times I used the word denial (or a variation of it) in this post? haha...off to write my paper now.
Side note: I have that old song "Virtual Insanity" in my head right now. That's a good freaking song, I must say.
Define death denying, yo.
