Let us be thankful that our deaths are to be individual happenings and not as the result advancing before machine gun fire or in the wrong kind of communal shower.
.......................... Yes indeed and let's all hope so DA .. thank you for visiting early .. I am struggling to get any sleep these days .... well you know what I mean, dont'cha 🙂
Cheers, Neville
.................... me too .. I am in the process of moving .. very bloomin stressful .. am usually good at managing stress but with everything else that is going on ... sheeeeesh )
ANGELA HERE - Good Morning Neville - Always up *Bright & Early* on a Saturday - No work til Monday ! Your SUPAHAIKU is very true - especially in these pandemical days. There is *A Time to be BORN & A Time to DIE* WE have no choice over the former - BUT - WE do - by our lifestyle influence the latter. Im 32 (An Essex Girl) so statistically Im only one-third through my Life ! And there is much I still want to do & places I want to go ! However should DEATH come today - Im ready & I have NO REGRETS - AMEN.
Love - Peace & Joy - to YOU & YOURS
Angela & Brian & Smokey Cat ! ! !
Thank you most kindly for visiting this little scribble of mine Angela it is much appreciated .. and of course, you are always welcome .. Go carefully, stay well and I am sure you shall eventually get to visit all those places you dream of ..
As one said - St Augustine I think - 'Give me patience, Lord - but not yet!' Doh!
Another thing held in common by mankind - They don't like my singing! Awww. lol.
There is no escape from this bit of truth. as your three liner powerfully pinpoints dear friend so a mantra like " try to love every moment" makes good sense to an incurable romantic like me - - - wishing you stress-free house moving..........x.
I like this little tidbit....Some people are so afraid of death I often wonder, whats the greatest cause of death nowadays? Life! I've shared that with them with a puzzled look.....C
If it was a less serious theme - all ya gotta be afraid of is my guinea pigs. They are very fierce - probably.
'How do you know a guinea pig is well?' Answer: 'It is eating!' (always nearly!).
............. I know from previous correspondence that you are something of an authority on guinea pigs .. did you ever manage to replace the one that is presumably now still grazing in the great hutch in the sky...........................
.............................................balance is the key.......... I would personally advocate moderation in most things ...anything that borders on a preoccupation is likely to impact on ones individual health balance ensemble and throw everything off kilter .... but hey, what do I know ............ Cheers PB n truly ..
Back for a second read of your 757 on shared truth of humanity's common endings Nev. which has revealed even deeper the need for struggling humanity to grasp awareness and feel more oneness -- - it inspired me to post a piece yesterday on nature's lessons with its continual changes from dark to light every day - - maybe death brings the same chance of renewal for humans to enjoy living in other dimensions. Your words certainly compel an on-going ponder..........x

It's a struggle to keep normal hours for me in these lockdown days. I'm either falling asleep in a chair or climbing out of bed fed up with insomnia.

.....How bloomin insightful and kind of you dear Fay..............................Many thank you's on their way .... x
Indeed!

Yes aww. We tend to replace them when they pass away. They don't like living alone, but need a companion.
Pithy.
Only that spectre at the end of the road is given immortal existence.

Yet if we spend too much time thinking of the end, do we ever truly allow our life to begin?
