Long Live Death ( 11-10-2015 )
During our many months of journeying through life -- long chains of days composed of innumerable instants short yet sparkling ; we are in touch with Death all along the way . And the reason we are ever connected with Death is because we have all known real LOVE ... For we have all searched for Love -- and found that Love -- and lost that Love -- and mourned that Love lost -- and let that mourning eventually fade ... And we all have risen to look for Love anew .
And the more we choose to do so , the more purely we do so -- the less we do so for our own pleasure or comfort or security , and the more we do so to bring Joy & Peace to the places where Joy & Peace are not .
And eventually , if we choose to Love enough , we come to know true , selfless Love -- and we sink into the reality that we ARE that Love -- and that we can manifest the same in every single moment of our lives ; even in times of sadness -- even in moments of fear -- even in flashes of anger -- even when surrounded by death and suffering ; especially when surrounded by death and suffering …
For it is in these moments -- moments when all seems lost and the Sun is gone and we feel as though it might never return and that a smile will never again touch our lips -- it is in these moments of darkness & shadow that our Love is both most precious and most powerful . For it is in these moments that we are most needed ... It is in these moments that we can bring real Hope to those in despair , it is in these moments that we can bring real Solace to those in pain , and it is in these moments that we can bring real Joy to those steeped in sorrow .
Indeed , it is in moments such as these that time stretches beyond the horizon and lengthens through the heavens ... It is in moments such as these when we choose to “ Love anyway ” that the regrets of the past & the worries for the future completely fade away , and we are left fully and completely in the Now -- fully and completely in this one , present moment ; the one moment that is -- this one moment when time has no meaning and where Death holds no sway . In these moments there is nothing left to suffer , for there is nothing left to which to cling or for which to yearn . There is only Peace in the main current of life ‟ s Great River , and our Love -- fully immersed within its flow .
