ANOTHER death!

Another death.
OMG I had so many deaths in my life in 2020. And now another one.
A good neighbour, incredibly kind and thoughtful towards me and my health situation.
Smart and cluey, intelligent eyes. Martial arts master.

Death comes closer, taunting me, staking out its territory.
Don't even consider for a moment that you are born under a lucky star no matter how charmed your life has been.
Or that you are only 23 and you have all the time in the world.
You will die. You WILL die, and so will I.
Unless you and I do the work. Pulling ourselves out of the mire of consensual lies, out of the quicksand of complacency.
There is no magical, alchemical elixir you can take.
You are the alchemist of your transformation.
Even Della/Espiritus died, and I pray to the God of my own being that she made the leap successfully at the critical time.

There is NOTHING normal about death, no matter how much and how long the chanting of the consensual lies continues.
No matter how much society worships and prostrates at the altar of death.
When someone you know dies, the space that is left behind is palpable.
Something irrevocably changes in the universe. This I know.

Why did we find our way to Mikal and his teachings? Is there anything really special about us?
We have been given the greatest, the GREATEST gift of all.
Everything else is death's greatest distraction.

Fuck you death!

Sorry about that...

I also have this impression that with each death, human or otherwise, the world changes fundamentally. Just like we say before christ and after christ, there is a world before the being was alive, a different one while it lives and yet another one after it dies.

Uthred, you have expressed that well.
