1:38:07
And in that journey of dying,
1:38:11
you see many things.
1:38:14
But all issues I had passed.
1:38:18
Because I was to be a witness.
1:38:21
A helper.
1:38:24
And that's the thing, I think,
1:38:28
is important about death,
1:38:31
is the ability for us
1:38:34
to be witnesses.
1:38:36
Not only for our births
of coming in,
1:38:40
but going out.
1:38:43
And that's what we have here.
1:38:46
We've lost our town. It's gone.
1:38:48
But maybe there's
1:38:51
a birth someplace else.
1:38:54
Maybe there's a blessing
1:38:57
from that experience.
1:39:00
I'm no longer afraid of death,
1:39:03
but it's a lesson
that's taken me
1:39:05
60 years to learn.
