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!

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
