100 Naked Words — Day 83
I Don’t Fear Death
Reflections, Ripples and Ramblings of a Restless Mind
Death has knocked often at my family’s door, implacable, we know not when he will come.
Just that he will.
Death fascinates me, I see it as a transition, not as an ending.
And even if the soul did not exist, I ask myself so what? Should I live today for the promised beauty to come, or find beauty around me today?
The world worries so much about the things it can’t control, the wrinkle on the brow, the ache in the joint or the dimming of vision that it expends all its efforts in trying to forestall or even eradicate the possibility of these things happening.
It spends so much time lost in this worry, that it forgets to look at the sun rise today.
And all too often the sun has set by the time they realise what they have missed.
It is the memories I leave behind that will make me immortal.
The lives I’ve touched, the souls that smiled as I’ve crossed their path.
No, I don’t fear death; I fear not living.
About me: Citizen of the World. I love writing, photography, travelling, reading, learning and growing. Medium is another journey in my life, let’s see what sights we may see.
