'Death is but a Dance'

'Death is but a Dance'

We are all but a breath away

From Death.

Yet we worry about it deny it or ignore it.

and think that will change things.

We are all so backward about death.

Everything will and does change

Day by day...minute by minute

There is no stopping it.

Our fear or denial is what is in our way.

Death...like all God created is necessary.

If vegetation didn't die...

what would nurture the new seedlings?

If death did not exist...

life would be intolerable for many.

Of course we miss our loved ones.

That is selfish...for they are in a better place.

If we celebrate the dance in their honor

Our pain would dissipate

We are selfish in many ways.

Death is just one of them.

It isn't about us

It is about all of us.

If we didn't have pain...we wouldn't be alive.

Robots don't feel pain.

Pain and change is a part of our privilege

To be visitors on this planet.

Would you just want to be a

 scarecrow In this beautiful garden?

Does a scarecrow see or feel

 the beauty around it?

Does it smile when it sees a bird fly away?

Does its nose tickle when a butterfly lands on it?

Let us together ...do the dance of life...

rejoice in what comes our way...be happy for others...

Let them go when God calls...

For He has a plan much bigger than we could ever conceive.

Let us dance with joyful hearts

As our loved ones journey forward.
