Energy. Life. Death. All of it. We rise and we fall and then we rise once more. We’re all on different paths, but death doesn’t discriminate. It comes for everyone. It’s what you do with it that sets you apart.

Under the Whispering Door / TJ Klune

“Dealing with death isn’t something you can just get used to. It’s sad every single time. We all just pretend it doesn’t affect us. That’s all.” – Dr. Hwang Yeo Hwan

“Death is not the end of a journey, but the beginning of a new one.” - Rumi

This video was taken by me yesterday at the Tomb of Mevlana, in Konya, Türkiye, where Rumi is buried.

What does a man die of but his death?

Ursula K. Le Guin, The Left Hand of Darkness.

If I'm being terribly honest,

it is a grotesque thought —

to be holding onto the eyes while my corpse feeds the daffodils.

If I'm being deliberately naive,

let my eyes bask in the unkindness of death

the eyes that see the world at its ugliest.

If I'm being ferociously blunt

yes, keep my eyes for when the crows come together;

for when the posterity feasts amidst a murder.

“Death is itself the death of death, and in ending life, it ends itself.”

—Hermann Burger, Tractatus Logico-Suicidalis (§ 211)

"And it was Death itself who stood behind me, with his arms wrapped around me as tight as iron bands, and his lipless mouth kissing my neck as if in love. But as well as the horror, I felt a strange longing."

- Margaret Atwood, Alias Grace, 1996

There's some truth to that. We could all be dead tomorrow and would it really make a difference? Would anything really change? On the other hand, we could all be alive tomorrow and what we do here could decide our fate

Even death has a heart

-Markus Zusak, The Book Thief

Dear Grandma,

two months ago you left this world and suffered a heavy fate. We think every day about you and we all hope that things will be better in heaven for you. Since you are been gone the family is breaking up and it is getting worse everyday. I wish you could give me a little sign and tell me that you are well. Please tell me that I don't have to be afraid of death. I can't find any words for your death it's just painful. Every time I stand in front of your grave I hope that everything is just a dream and you are standing next to me with your beautiful smile. I know that no one can escape death but no one expect that your death came so quickly. We miss you every day more. Please grandma take care of yourself when you light up the starry sky at night. You are the brightest star in the night sky. Please never lose your light in the darkest night.

We will always think of you.

We miss you every day.

We love you always in forever

Your family.
