First is the death of innocence.
Second is the death of trust.
Third is the death of guilt.
Fourth is the death of doubt.
Fifth is the death of fear.
Sixth is the death of hatred.
Seventh is the death of self.
I grew up in Christian fundamentalism, went to hell, came back, became a Presbyterian then a Buddhist Presbyterian, and now I'm a profane Presbyterian Zen Taoist -- not that I'm into labels or anything. Here's what I've learned so far: The more you know, the more you know you don't know.

For Thomas Young
Made quadriplegic
By a blood clot that moved to
The brain, he chose death.
Trauma from conflict
Afflicts many vets who can’t
Admit to their shame.
His words went viral:
Too high a price when valor
Leads to suicide.
