This week’s Saturday Contemplation looks at the heart of this entire project. Why we even choose to think about death in the first place.

It’s not about fear or morbidity. It’s about presence. When we turn toward death instead of away from it, life starts to look and feel different. The ordinary becomes sacred. The temporary becomes meaningful. And we remember what it really means to be alive.

Normally, this would be a bonus episode exclusively for WWDT+ members but it felt important to share the contemplation on “Why We Contemplate Death” with everyone. Honestly, it probably should’ve been the first one, but here we are.

The first contemplation of every month is free for everyone. All others are available exclusively to WWDT+ members — a weekly practice designed to help you slow down, reflect on your mortality, and reconnect with what gives your life meaning.
