The best things in life are free. Sunsets and sunrises are free. Air is free. Love is free. Death is free. The best things in life are free. ~ Frederick Lindemann, 1st Viscount Cherwell

Life ~ Isaac Asimov
Life is pleasant. Death is peaceful. It’s the transition that’s troublesome.

Death
In death – no! even in the grave all is not lost. Else there is no immortality for man. Arousing from the most profound slumbers, we break the gossamer web of some dream. Yet in a second afterward, (so frail may that web may have been) we remember not that we have dreamed.
~Edgar Allan Poe

Winter Afternoons
There’s a certain Slant of light,
Winter afternoons –
That oppresses, like the Heft
Of Cathedral Tunes –
Heavenly Hurt, it gives us –
We can find no scar,
But internal difference,
Where the Meanings, are….
When it comes, the Landscape listens –
Shadows – hold their breath –
When it goes, ’tis like the Distance
On the look of Death.
~Emily Dickinson, c.1861

Death
“If we have been pleased with life, we should not be displeased with death, since it comes from the hand of the same master.”
– Michelangelo
This existence of ours is as transient as autumn clouds. To watch the birth and death of beings is like looking at the movements of a dance. A lifetime is a flash of lightning in the sky. Rushing by, like a torrent down a steep mountain. – Buddha

Fear
“I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.”
– Frank Herbert
Fear
Wednesday Morning Quote
Everything is changeable, everything appears and disappears there is no blissful peace until one passes beyond the agony of life and death. – Buddha
Fear & Death

“At a formal dinner

George Carlin Quote
“I’m completely in favor of the separation of Church and State. My idea is that these two institutions screw us up enough on their own, so both of them together is certain death.”

Death
Death is no more than passing
from one room into another. But
there’s a difference for me, you
know. Because in that other
room I shall be able to see.

Meditation
Something They Have In Common
My mother and Eric Clapton have something in common.
Both are English. Her parents came from the Manchester area of England.
Of course Clapton was born in the UK.
But the thing they do share is the same date: March 30, 2004.
Mother passed away the same day as Clapton’s birthday.
She had just turned 88, as her birthday was March 18.
Ma, always thinking of you.

Advice
Look, I really don’t want to wax philosophical, but I will say that
if you’re alive, you got to flap your arms and legs, you got to
jump around a lot, you got to make a lot of noise, because life
is the very opposite of death. And therefore, as I see it, if
you’re quiet, you’re not living. You’ve got to be noisy, or at
least your thoughts should be noisy and colorful and lively.
— Mel Brooks
You don’t get to choose ….
You don’t get to choose how you’re going to die. Or when. You can only decide how you’re going to live. — Joan Baez
There are worse things in life… – Woody Allen
There are worse things in life than death. Have you ever spent an evening with an insurance salesman?

If you would be not forgotten… – Benjamin Franklin

When we cannot bear to be alone, it means we do not properly value the only companion we will have from birth to death–ourselves.
