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. |
