Demetrios I read your comment to Anne-Lise. Three times you almost died, wow my friend! You have a greater perspective and your trust in our lord solidifies the anticipation of being in Heaven. I will meet you there someday my friend but for now don't anticipate so much I want you around a while. God bless you my friend...

My dearest friend, Michael, I have written many poems on death. All positive! The last one is this " DEATH MY PALL " you can find it here. The shortest poem is this one" Death is a celestial pillow upon which the soul rests for a while, dreaming of the life to come! " Do not worry my friend, I will not go up there sooner than our Lord has designated! Blessings!

- Most of us fear the unknown ... I have never experienced that moment of death is beautiful or peaceful ... but, what meets us on the other side ... (????) - We have no choice ... anyway - hugs // Anne-Lise :)

I came close to dying three times. Once so close that they were ready to bury me. After that never had any fear of death. I am certain the "unknown " you mention my dearest, Anne-Lise, for me at least, isn't that unknown and it isn't that terrifying! Thank you! Hugs xxx

Death is assured--but it does evoke fear --not there yet. Gorgeous flower!

Fear is decreased when we accept the inevitable my dearest friend, Vijay and it going away as wisdom increases! ... I guess you still young...hahaha. Don't worry that too goes away with time! Blessings

So very true Demetrios, death for many of us is just another level of our existence, shame many see our earthly time as their lot. Tom
