I just lost my uncle tonight, he was very old.Ninety eight in fact and as he lay in his hospital bed unable to see, he kept pointing at the ceiling. I told my auntie it was angels ready to help him make the journey into the light.
Not sure what everyone's view on the whole death issue is, I started reading The Tibetan book of the dead, interesting book,takes you through amazing journeys of meditations and how to prepare yourself in those few hours before you go. I guess most of you hope to go in your sleep, not with a pain or suddenly like the tube bombing in London, I question that alot, I'm faced with the article every morning in the metro as the relatives of the victims speak out. I think about that alot as I am too on the underground every day. Maybe that's too much of a morbid thought, but I gain some kind of strength every time I hear about another victim and who they were ect.
Death is a mad thing, eveytime I begin to think about it,I start to have a panic attack. There are people who have not got long to live and here I am being stupid, I know they would turn to me and slap me in the face. These people are happy, they may have regrets and wished they had more time, but they are happy.
Oh, I have slipped the surly bonds of earth
And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings.
Sunward I've climbed and joined the tumbling mirth
Of sun split clouds - and done a hundred things
You have not dreamed of; wheeled and soared and swung
High in the sunlit silence. Hovering there
I've chased the shouting wind along, and flung
My eager craft through footless halls of air;
Up, up the long delirious burning blue
I've topped the windswept heights with easy grace,
Where never lark nor even eagle flew;
And while, with silent lifting mind I've trod
The high, untrespassed sanctity of space
Put out my hand and touched the face of 'God'
'A god as an energy in all of us, or whatever you believe to be god'
I watched the film Paranormal activity and yes I can say it prob could happen, but in all honestly if you want to believe it could, then your drawing on negative energy, yes I was freaked out by it and slept with the light on for a week after, but there is more good over bad stuff in that world
Don't get me wrong, we all like to be taken out of our comfort zone a bit and wizzed around, but its nice to come back to it finally again. The mind is a strange one. Its what we do with it that counts, and as long as we can be there for our loved ones and friends in times of need, when it comes to death we'll all be smiling.
