I read a book a while back by Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche, where he made a point about noticing "mini-deaths" in day-to-day life; your piece reminded me of it. the note I wrote at the time was "death is not just what happens at the end of our life, but happens daily with each passing experience and memory. A part of you, or a version of you, dies in each moment. Being aware of this and being in touch with our mortality go hand in hand."
love the ritual of buying flowers!
