What Should I Do?

08:58 AM

Been re-reading Stephen Batchelor's book Buddhism Without Beliefs.

Keep coming back to one line that he suggests as a possible consideration during meditation:

"Since death alone is certain and the time of death uncertain, what should I do?"

That's one hell of a question.

What I should do right now is make another cup of coffee and post this entry - but I think I'll be giving this more consideration later today.

It became too hot and sunny to ponder such things - so we took the dog for a walk by the river instead. Anton's Gowt. Sounds like a rather disgusting disease, but in fact it's a very pretty place. Rose took her camera, so no doubt there will be pics to follow.


Plenty of time for Death tomorrow, I expect.
