Death

One journey has finished and another one is about to begin
the extension of oneīs life
permanent features do not exist
what is born will die
what is build up will be brought down
the seasons change, each have their death
the death of Spring into Summer
the death of Summer into Autumn into Winter
our life...impermanent, cycle of changes

we cry at our own loss, but loss brings us into our reality
that one day, not knowing what day
we will be leaving our house, our job, our family...our body
to enter the journey
like we did when we were born

death is a part of us, the only permanent thing around us
we should welcome it...prepare for it
and think of it as a forward step into our true life

so donīt cry for this impermanent body thatīs been dying ever since it entered this world
do not cry for the loss
think of it as what it really is...a gain...a step...a teaching in one self
