Michael Meade: When Death Finds You, May It Find You Alive


There's an African proverb: 
"When death finds you, may it find you alive." 
Alive means living your own damned life, 
not the life that your parents wanted, or the life 
some cultural group or political party wanted, 
but the life that your own soul wants to live.

    Be alive enough to honor yourself. Off with the thoughts and behaviors that you were told to have.
    In dying alive, there is permission to finally be who we really are.
    Yippee! And then, others can mind their own damn business.
