What a beautiful story. Thanks for sharing it. There are times that I meditate on life and death. As living beings I believe that we cling to life. We love living and we are not in a hurry for it to end. I think that the thing that scares me the most about death is that it is permanent. There is no going back and doing anything over. When it is time to pass on to the other side there is nothing we can do to stop it. The circle of life. Like most I have my thoughts and beliefs about heaven or hell. I have spent a lot of time listening to preachers and teachers talk about the holy bible. No matter what we believe or do not believe we will come face to face with the end of our lives. We can only hope that we are prepared for it. Our loved ones are the ones that will suffer the most when we do pass. Maybe we should help them to prepare for that eventuality?
