Open your arms wide, my dear.

If you choose to remain in the

shell of fear-hatred-and loathing

then Death shall strike the body

nay, the soul,

at the hour in which the minds reflection

of life is irresolute.


Let your soul be as naked

and free as the Earth’s mountains.

Let your mind flow as harmoniously

and as unattached as Earth’s sifting rivers.

Let it go.

For Death and life are two sides

of the same sword, my dear.


You wish you would understand

what lies beyond the corporeal senses,

what lies beyond the ins and outs

of this living, breathing organism;

this dream within a dream.

So I say, caress it.

Like a mother to her child

Like the mountain to a flower.

Like God to the spirit.

Then Death shall appear with a smile

somewhere in your heart

as if it were Life.
Life is not a problem to be solved, but a reality to be experienced.
-Søren Kierkegaard
