When Death Comes, May It Find You Alive
There is a question that most of us avoid until we have no choice: what would I do if I knew time was short? This panel proposes to ask that question out loud, not as a philosophical exercise, but as a life tool. The conversation investigates how awareness of death can be, paradoxically, what gives us back clarity about what is worth persisting in, what is worth building, and what is worth leaving behind. When time ceases to be abstract, choices become more honest. To undertake, in this sense, is to live with enough presence so that, when death comes, it finds you alive.
