In this reflection episode, I revisit my conversation with Don Sires, who shared his powerful journey living with ALS and his perspective shaped by the Baha’i faith. I highlight some of the key takeaways, like Don’s analogy of life as the "womb of the spiritual world," and how his resilience in the face of immense challenges offers lessons for us all.

On a personal note, I share my recent struggles with an eye injury and how it brought up thoughts on aging and mortality. Don also posed some thought-provoking questions about life after death, the existence of God, and what evidence we look for to believe in more beyond this life.

These insights allow me to connect more deeply with this project and with all of you listening. Let me know if these episodes resonate with you. Your feedback is always appreciated.
