To Fear Or Not To Fear

To the mere mortal death is something that evokes fear 

To the wise is something that is anticipated with hope!

Michael Tor Date: 7/4/2020 1:25:00 AM 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...

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!

Anne-Lise Andresen Date: 7/3/2020 7:24:00 AM - 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 :) Login to Reply Demetrios Trifiatis Date: 7/3/2020 8:21:00 AM 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

Vijay Pandit Date: 7/3/2020 6:46:00 AM Death is assured--but it does evoke fear --not there yet. Gorgeous flower! Login to Reply Demetrios Trifiatis Date: 7/3/2020 6:58:00 AM 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

Caren Krutsinger Date: 7/3/2020 6:08:00 AM The faithful also have this exact same mindset, my friend. Login to Reply Demetrios Trifiatis Date: 7/3/2020 6:55:00 AM True, dearest , Caren. One doesn't exclude the other though. Thank you so much! Blessings

Tom Cunningham Date: 7/3/2020 3:44:00 AM 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.
