The Lesson No One Teaches

Lorna

Will someone teach me how to die?

I want to see it coming and maintain my wits

Enough to remember sweet smelling mornings

The sweat of horses, full yellow moons

Strong arms and love in the grass

Without being greedy for more

    Death is not an issue as we will stay with our Spirit for eternity and no matter how we die we will be alive.

    • Lorna

      OK maybe...... but the actual moment still has to be reckoned with........ let's wrangle that little doggie.............

      • Lorna

        Forgot to say...... I've just ordered "The Book Thief" - I love getting book recommendations........ keep them coming! There's a movie of it with Geoffrey Rush - have you seen?

        We can look to the true message of Easter. I don't mean 'messing about' with 'religion' though, as in some places.

        • Lorna

          I think I know what you mean Orchidee.......... it's a beautiful message - with or without a god figurehead......... if there was a Jesus I don't believe he would have liked what has been done in his name....... imagine him watching heretics burned at the stake..... hmmmmmm I don't think so...........

                      Once we get that one moment of fulfillment, then we'll be ready for the next life. Beautiful picture. It gives a good personality to this write

                      • Lorna

                        Yes Noah and Tepo - absolutely correct........ learn to live first!!! Glad no one took this too seriously................
