Notes

Contemplation On Death
I was listening to the oldies station the other day and the song, American Pie by Don McLean came on. I was alone in my car, so I belted out the lyrics "drove my Chevy to the levy, but the levy was dry" with abandon. It made me think of the first time I heard the song in 1971. My boyfriend (later my husband and eventually my ex husband) and I were driving my car to the Salt River. Somehow singing "Drove my Dodge to the river, but the river's not dry" just didn't have the same pizzaz. But I digress.

My relationship waned for two reasons: apathy and fear. The apathy was inexcusable, born from that arrogance of early adulthood where everything I was doing was too important to reschedule in order to take the time to travel to visit her. Heck, that apathy started in college, even before my grandfather died.

First, let us look at death. I know it is an unpleasant subject. But unless you look death in the eye and deny its power over you, it will destroy meaning and happiness. Persons have been investigating Near Death Experiences (NDE) for many decades.

Muhammad suggested, "Die before you die or you'll die a thousand death s." Jesus said, "Deny yourself." The self you are to deny--that must die--is not the self you really are. How could it be? It must be instead "the mind-made self"--the you, you think is you. It must be the you, you see in a mirror--what Albert Einstein called "the optical illusion in consciousness." It could not be the you, you really are. As long as you confuse the house wherein you live, however, with the person you really are, there will be resistance to aging or, more accurately, to dying and to death.




funeral serve two main purposes: to commemorate the life of the deceased, and to offer mourners a chance to gather together and say their final goodbyes. funeral are NOT places to network, party until you puke or pick up a cute date - although unfortunately all three happen from time to time.

Talking about death with loved ones may seem difficult at first, but it brings a sense of relief and comfort, and is much easier to do once you get started. You don't have to worry about bringing the subject up since most people will willingly talk about death, and they'll be glad you mentioned it!

This is why everyone should create a funeral plan. We are all going to die someday. Just as you would plan any important event, a funeral requires very much the same type of planning. You can get a funeral planer from any funeral home if you so desire or you can even have it pre-arranged. It is even possible to pay for it ahead of time. It is a good way to save some money.

Death glances back at the wide swath of ashes that marks her path through the forest. She raises her hands to the skies and shouts an incantation. A single tear glistens on her cheek before the lightning strikes. And then she's gone.
