Feeding the chooks

I love this blog - Martin McKenzie-Murray may have an unusually longwinded, alliterative name but his prose is almost always elegant and clean and his thinking sharp (every now and then he writes a more rambly, discoherant piece, but we all have our days). He's a man who steps back from things, reflects honestly on why they should be that way and on the failings of society and man. This piece on how we live before the threat of death is sharp thing sharp. Before I was a Christian, I would have given my assent to his concluding line: now I think quite differently.

Death comes to us all, and the trick is not to learn how to die but how to live as openly as possible.
