Natural Deaths

I ponder the phrase, ponder the 'natural'. There are an infinite number of ways to die either tragically or macabrely comic, countless ways to cash-in or cash-out. Obituaries record ‘sad endings’ from natural causes, peaceful age related slow-go. Lingering, suffering, grinning in a dark room just waiting...not so natural. The deceased have no say of course some step on garden rakes and die from a hole in the head, some deliberately put a hole in their heads. Death is a one size fits all phenom. Natural? Maybe if natural is a clown car full of bull crap. What's unnatural, what is a great blessing is when the once living plant God in your heart then depart on a cosmic greyhound leaving you to ponder the unnatural aspects of the ever-loving natural.
