Long Live Death<br />
(11-10-2015)<br />
During our many months of journeying through life -- long chains of days<br />
composed of innumerable instants short yet sparkling; we are in touch with Death<br />
all along <strong>the</strong> way. And <strong>the</strong> reason we are ever connected with Death is because<br />
we have all known real LOVE ... For we have all searched for Love -- and found<br />
that Love -- and lost that Love -- and mourned that Love lost -- and let that<br />
mourning eventually fade ... And we all have risen to look for Love anew.<br />
And <strong>the</strong> more we choose to do so, <strong>the</strong> more purely we do so -- <strong>the</strong> less we<br />
do so for our own pleasure or comfort or security, and <strong>the</strong> more we do so to bring<br />
Joy & Peace to <strong>the</strong> places where Joy & Peace are not.<br />
And eventually, if we choose to Love enough, we come to know true, selfless<br />
Love -- and we sink into <strong>the</strong> reality that we ARE that Love -- and that we can<br />
manifest <strong>the</strong> same in every single moment of our lives; even in times of sadness --<br />
even in moments of fear -- even in flashes of anger -- even when surrounded by<br />
death and suffering; especially when surrounded by death and suffering …<br />
For it is in <strong>the</strong>se moments -- moments when all seems lost and <strong>the</strong> Sun is<br />
gone and we feel as though it might never return and that a smile will never again<br />
touch our lips -- it is in <strong>the</strong>se moments of darkness & shadow that our Love is<br />
both most precious and most powerful. For it is in <strong>the</strong>se moments that we are<br />
most needed ... It is in <strong>the</strong>se moments that we can bring real Hope to those in<br />
despair, it is in <strong>the</strong>se moments that we can bring real Solace to those in pain, and<br />
it is in <strong>the</strong>se moments that we can bring real Joy to those steeped in sorrow.<br />
Indeed, it is in moments such as <strong>the</strong>se that time stretches beyond <strong>the</strong> horizon<br />
and leng<strong>the</strong>ns through <strong>the</strong> heavens ... It is in moments such as <strong>the</strong>se when we<br />
choose to “Love anyway” that <strong>the</strong> regrets of <strong>the</strong> past & <strong>the</strong> worries for <strong>the</strong> future<br />
completely fade away, and we are left fully and completely in <strong>the</strong> Now -- fully<br />
and completely in this one, present moment; <strong>the</strong> one moment that is -- this one<br />
moment when time has no meaning and where Death holds no sway. In <strong>the</strong>se<br />
moments <strong>the</strong>re is nothing left to suffer, for <strong>the</strong>re is nothing left to which to cling<br />
or for which to yearn. There is only Peace in <strong>the</strong> main current of life‟s Great<br />
River, and our Love -- fully immersed within its flow.<br />
