The Fillmore San Francisco Death Cafe
A write up of Fillmore Death Cafe
Summary of April 24, 2019 gathering.
Oddly it was funniest Death Cafe we have ever had. We laughed a lot. Talking about the crazy things people do with the cremains of their loved ones, how important it is to say goodbye ...really vicerally no matter if we cremate or do a full funeral. We also talked about freeze dried dobermans (..really...I could not make that up.) The things people do to keep their loved ones - two and four footed friends in their lives can be extreme..and pretty funny.
Ah we humans are entertaining. Yes?
The two poems we read to begin are from my two favorite 'theologians':
Lily Tomlin and Albert Einstein
“Now he has departed from this strange world a little ahead of me. That means nothing. People like us, who believe in physics, know that the distinction between past, present, and future is only a stubbornly persistent illusion.”
— Albert Einstein, upon learning of the death of a lifelong friend, a March 1955 letter
“What is reality, anyway? Just a collective hunch” - Lily Tomlin
