“Aging is a carefully designed exercise that constantly urges us with increasing insistence to attend to that part of our selves that is most important, the essential part of our selves that will endure and continue its endless journey toward fulfilling its capacity to become ever more refined, ever more complete and joyful.”
John S. Hatcher, Understanding Death: The Most Important Event of Your Life

“true knowledge is the ability to discern the end in the beginning, to understand the end result of present action.”
John S Hatcher, Understanding Death: The Most Important Event of Your Life

“If ye be seekers after this life and the vanities thereof, ye should have sought them while ye were still enclosed in your mothers’ wombs, for at that time ye were continually approaching them, could ye but perceive it. Ye have, on the other hand, ever since ye were born and attained maturity, been all the while receding from the world and drawing closer to dust. Why, then, exhibit such greed in amassing the treasures of the earth, when your days are numbered and your chance is well-nigh lost? Will ye not, then, O heedless ones, shake off your slumber?”
John S Hatcher, Understanding Death: The Most Important Event of Your Life
