Halloween

Halloween 'Tis the time of the year when death comes to visit in a friendly way.. In this season we are offered the experience of death hidden in laughter of children dressed in their frightening best vocalizing: Trick or Treat..! Perhaps it is a form of an NDE Near Death Experience in a community sense.. A tricking of death exposed in light and laughter.. Experiencing death before we die.. Giving our temporary attention.. But then reflecting: What else is temporary and what is permanent..? Thoughts and perceptions of course just come and go.. These mind things rise and very soon die.. And what remains..? Life itself remains..and when we lastly depart..with our thoughts and perceptions.. Life again simply remains...?
