	UU World: Philip Simmons, by David Reich
		It was the writer Philip Simmons's curse, and his blessing, to have his death thrown in his face, by his diagnosis at age thirty-five with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or Lou Gehrig's disease.
		Of course, everyday life, as Simmons saw it, always had death looming in the background, and many of his essays applied the wisdom of world religions (along with the wisdom of philosophers, poets, physicists, farmers) to the problem of living with death and loss.
		Simmons, no professional religion scholar, nonetheless had the rare gift of cutting to the heart of other people's faiths, thus avoiding the shallow eclecticism that plagues so many writers in his subgenre — the personal religious exploration.
