Brian’s collected pieces, volume by volume.
The world is a fearsome place. It is full of grandeur overwhelming our senses. Yet within all the beauty is a bloody mystery we call death. There’s a growing arsenal with which we combat dying, but nothing works better than our complete surrender while trusting the Dalai Lama when he says with a smile, Death is only a change of clothes. So be patient. Be like a child who does not need to be told there is a God. Take the beauty, take the pain, then let the mystery take you.
