Life and Death

9/11/2010

0 Comments

 
Death is such a hard issue. Yet, I found out that once I stopped fearing death, I stopped fearing life. Death is concrete and solid, life is fragile and uncertain. We can't change death, but we can change life. We don't have power over our death, but we do have power over our lives. To limit oneself from the full experience of life because of the fear of death, is like not ever tasting the sweet tartness of an apple, because of the fear of finding a little bug inside. It is not death that we should fear, but the life not lived.

    I am a thinker, I love people, and I love the mystery of our inner world! My poetry and music are my tools to discovering this mystery. 
    It's fascinating! (:-)
