I have been thinking a lot about death lately — not in a dreaded or depressing way, more of an understanding. Death to me is not the end but the beginning of a heighten perspective of life. I’m here on Earth to experience both the good and bad, to learn from them both, to share, to celebrate, to love, to strive to be better. To GROW. If I continue on this journey learning as much as I possibly can I think I have lived a prosperous life. After death, this is when we recollect, compile, and digest our knowledge we have acquired through out our life. In that moment, we will reach the highest awareness of the word LIFE and all it’s meaning. All our questions will no longer need answers - we will know everything. It excites me and I even look forward to that moment. Don’t get me wrong, I intend to live a full, healthy, and brilliant life. I’m no longer afraid of death because I know there is much better things awaiting me. Lost faces I will see again. New places to go. Another life to triumph.
I am a huge fan of clouds, any one who knows me would know that. Today, while Chris and I were out eating lunch, huge puffy clouds scattered the sky, so many of them — was breathtaking. I, unfortunately, did not have my camera with me (I need to remember to carry that thing with me where ever I go!). I started thinking about life & death and how I hope the day I die (hopefully many years from now) the clouds will look a little something like this — to remind those I love that life is still beautiful even in the midst of chaos and death.
You know how much I parallel your views, and also how I’ve had the same things on my mind lately. For the past months and years, I keep finding myself compelled by death, but not in the somber sense that many attribute to it. Rather, I see it as another part of our existence, like a continuation of what we have on Earth, just without the bindings of our mortal flesh.
I love you and I’ll see you later tonight :)
“life is still beautiful even in the midst of chaos and death”
I love that. You have a great outlook on life and death and I agree with it. Just sometimes hard to remember things like that when you’re in the moment.
Beautiful photo of the clouds. It looks like an ocean in the sky.
@Chris. “I see it as another part of our existence, like a continuation of what we have on Earth, just without the bindings of our mortal flesh.” I love the way you put it. It’s exactly how I feel as well. It’s so comforting to have the same ideals with you, especially with something so big and important as life & death.
@Tanya. Thank you. :) And it’s hard for me to remember all the time as well. It’s taken me years to wrap my mind around it - I’ve thought about it so much that now it’s deep down in there, it’s becoming harder to forget. It certainly helps having a positive outlook on life, that is probably the most valuable thing I have learned over the years.
Ooh, and it does look like an ocean in the sky. Very cool. :D
Test. Delete me.
