Just as when we come into the world, when we die we are afraid of unknown things. But the fear is something from within us that has nothing to do with reality
I’m fine here, Lenny. I’m discovering who I am without all my ornaments and accessories. It’s quite a slow process, but a very useful one. Everybody ought to do the same at the end of their life. If I...
