No. 277 – ‘Let it be’


If we are to collide, let it be together and with so much force that even death itself won’t be able to tear us apart. Let us jump willingly into the abyss, unafraid of the fall, knowing that we were not pushed, instead our bodies simply let go of all the things they used to cling to that weighed them down.

Speaking for myself, I'd rather not feel this way.  It's likely you don't quite understand death, for if you did, you'd know you can do nothing to defeat it, short of believing as Christians do. If you believe as Christians do, then the proper steps to take to achieve such a victory have already been outlined in a popular best-seller.

I had a completely different take on this piece than Blues. I thought you were talking about love, not life and death. From my perspective, I thought, "That's right, that's the only way to go." ~L
