… Now of Death…
But how shall you find it
unless you seek it in the heart of life…
If you would indeed hold the spirit of death,
open your heart wide unto the body of life.
For life and death are one,
even as the river and the sea are one….
In the depth of your hopes and desires
lies your silent knowledge of the beyond;
and like seeds dreaming beneath the snow
your heart dreams of spring…
Trust the dreams, for in them is hidden the gate to eternity…
… For what is it to die
but to stand naked in the wind…
and to melt into the sun?
And what is it to cease breathing,
but to free the breath from its restless tides…
that it may rise and expand and
seek the Spirit unencumbered?
… And when the earth shall claim you limbs,
then you shall truly dance… – Gibran –
I heard a story about a man..
standing in the back of his pick up truck..
With an eagle on his arm…
Feeling the weight of this eagle with a 7 foot wing span…
The eagle with its golden eyes looked around…
and then looked right at the man and into his soul…
Then the eagle took off,,,, the swoop of the wings…
lifted the man about 4 inches off the truck…
And the Man spoke… take me with you… – Wm-
Find your wings and maybe a little death on your mat today…
