What if Joyce dies before me? This is one of my greatest vulnerabilities. Sure, I could die first. Statistically, women live longer than men. But this is not my vulnerability.

I have full faith that, in the realm of soul, I’ll be even more present for her without the distractions that are here on earth.

Congratulations! You have just been born! Happy birthday! If I am correct, and I’m pretty sure that I am, you did not get to choose your parents. You did not get to choose into what country you were born. You did not get to choose your sex. You did not get to choose what you look like. Furthermore, now that you are here on Planet Earth, you don’t get to choose the religion, if any, you’ll be taught. At least while you’re a baby, and as you grow.

It is very likely that you have a friend who always “falls” for the wrong guy. Everybody sees it, except her. You feel sorry for her; you wish you can help her.
