    Green College Writer in Residence: The Arts of Living Now
  •  
  • Why do we imagine that we might have to close the door on life if we are diagnosed with a terminal illness? Given opportunities to be creative, perhaps we could live deeply in our last months, weeks and days. Certainly the arts have the potential to enrich us at the end of life. They allow us to leave behind a gift of ourselves to family and friends after we have gone. Indeed, they might help us enter into our dying more fully.
