I Reserve the Right to Be Terrified: A Long Life

You want to know why dying is like orgasm? Blayney Colmore, thirty years an Episcopal priest and life escort, explains: Does death make hash of all our efforts? Is there a dimension beyond what we know? Can normal people access it? As we burn down our culture's best achievements can we do something more useful than mourn? Come along on this holy roller coaster. You may recognize the highs and lows: baptism, marriage, burial, hitting for the cycle, from tomb to portal, an assassinated seminary classmate, close friend with Watergate criminals, an African odyssey, divorce, remarriage -- all in the shadow of inevitable, impending death.
