hi all, I’m getting older, people around me are passing, getting ill. I feel closer to death than ever before in my life.
I’m looking for book suggestions that put context on death, our impermanence and maybe inspired you to make the most of life in a “carpe diem” way.
could be fiction, non fiction, philosophy, religion, etc….
we only have one time here. what books helped you put that in perspective hopefully in an artful inspired sublimated way?
thank you!
