Share these closing words from Lee Ann Wester:

When the time comes,
we prepare,
as if for a party with close friends for care,
or a class, ready to learn.
But is preparation really possible?
Can we ever really prepare,
for death?
For life?
The friends will come for care,
the class will happen,
we learn.
When the time comes.

Extinguish the chalice.
