When I breathe my last breath I will rest in the peace that I have lived fully. With the last spurt of neural activity, I will glimpse the whole of my life, with all the ups and downs, the twist and turns, the agony and ecstasy. And I will know who I am. And I will let go and melt back into the stream. The single note that is “My life” will echo out into harmony with the symphony of the universe… And then it’s done.
Why do we despair at this ending? Why do we construct fanciful tails and theologies to tell us it’s not the end!”?
The Beautiful interplay between creator and creation is sufficient without “My” involvement. Do not despair. Feel the cold sting of your own mortality and rejoice in the contrast that provides to the warm aliveness of this moment. Embrace each experience from this knowledge… Not in a clinging way, but fully open and without fear…
