As I was driving to work today I got the opportunity to drive under a canopy of autumn colors. It was amazing to notice how brilliant the leaves are in their dying. Oh, to be so bright and colorful upon my own death!Hands palm to palm,

So true! I always think the same about cut flowers - beautiful, but dead (or as good as - since their roots have been severed). I, too, hope my death is a beautifully brilliant flash like that :-)
ReplyDeleteHi Shinzen,
ReplyDeleteYes, death abounds, it's so natural to nature...
...but man separates himself from nature, and death...
...such is his conditioning, and his condition.
;-)
... it reminds me how brilliant some people in their dying. They are brimming with unspoken wisdom.
