I witnessed a man almost die today. I think he was dead and the cops didn't want to bag him in front of all of us who were watching. A man had a heart attack behind the wheel and went smashing through my neighbor's front yard. This is the one day I'm glad I procrastinated in taking Sophie for a walk. I would have never seen him coming from behind if I started out fifteen seconds earlier. My mom said it's not my time yet. Obviously NOT.
Earlier I was tired because I went for my last dress fitting. My wedding dress fit perfectly. It was like a huge weight lifted off my shoulders. Last week I was under a tremendous amount of stress. I began to drink a quart amount of coffee a day. Today I had a half a cup of regular coffee before I got home and had my death experience. I was so tired from not drinking coffee all day and here it comes. The experience of watching someone have this tragedy drained my energy.
I'm taking this as a wake up call from God. I should be enjoying this time, not stressing myself out and abusing my body. Why am I putting this in my raw food blog? Because of how I've been abusing my body with food in a mistaken notion that it will HELP me cope. What a joke. I was dog tired today from NOT having a quart of coffee so how is drinking a quart of coffee helping me? How is eating pork helping me? How is eating everything in sight for the past few days helping me? Is this how I want to solve all my problems?
Just seeing death before my eyes and becoming acutely aware of how fleeting life is has made me think. I'm thinking that I need to enjoy this time. If I don't worry about stress and food, it will come naturally.

What a heavy experience!
I guess these things really happen all the time but like you say, it's kind of swept out of the way so we don't have to see it most of the time.
