Dear Dear Makala Kozo - When I first heard this news, my heart sank and tears came to my eyes…a heaviness wafted over me but reading your post and all those of your noble friends, I realize you and we are being given an opportunity to live life with more awareness, knowing our choices matter and that love and kindness is our necessity rather than a casual action. We are all dying as we live but we have choice as to how we live. Let us choose to live fully, moment to moment - full with love gratitude and in service. Thank you for the inspiration :)
