Where to when we die?
Some say “Heaven”
and some, well, think it’s Hell,
and for some,
could be somewhere in the sky.
but how many people know for sure?
How many have worked it out
and know who they are,
where they are going
and what they will do once there?

Now dying is pretty serious business:
it’s a big-time move -
would one go to an airport and say:
“Can I please get on a plane?”
In the real world, you need a ticket,
and a destination, at the very least.
Does “dying” remove responsibility
for what comes next?

So there go the earth Humans
without a clue out into the Cosmos.
No idea where they wish to go
nor how to get there.
And if they do get there,
what do they use for a resume
when asked what they’d like to do?
Looked at this way,
doesn’t it seem rather silly?
No wonder there are so many Humans
crowding each other here!

They go out into the cosmos
thinking that “others” will take them home
not knowing what that is –
so they are put on a great return loop
and when their turn comes
out they pop, back on Earth again...
and again... and again...
and for most, none the wiser.

What is wisdom WindWalker? :-)
I'm trying to live my life as if I'm on a journey that will never end. I believe God is Endless Love and as my journey passes from this life I will trust myself into the hands of that source. I don't need to know what awaits because I believe it is more than I can imagine or understand.

It's good to think on these things even though we'll never know the truth while on earth. I have a cabin there overlooking a river that joins the sea just around the corner and a forest behind and around - definitely no snakes. Not sure yet what I'll be doing there but people will come for whatever it is I'm offering be it wisdom or sea shells. Got it all sorted, you see.

makes me thinking of everyone is dying, what matters is only the time

maybe the ticket to the heaven is just the heart

nice piece!
