Death: A Fair Price?

A. Unabashed Pacifist:

The power of peace is subtle and pervasive. In any social grouping, peace is the normal state of affairs. Outbreaks of violence are temporary. They have no power to create coherent communities, which is what peace does constantly.

B. Unabashed Christian:

Holy One,

In your arms, we are safe and warm.
In your presence, we have no fear.
In your womb, creative energy flows.
Under your wings, storms don’t matter.
In your heart, our lives know blessing.
Amen

C. Un-quoting Jesus:

“Testing: One, two, three.”

[He didn’t say it, but I wonder how a crowd of 5,000 people could hear Him. For that matter, who was counting?]

D. Blog: Death’s A Fair Price

From the Cosmic Womb came all that is, born to experience the gift of life with varying time spans and varying awareness. For our joyful awareness in life, we pay the price of the awareness of death. I think the price is fair, for it can enhance our happiness in knowing the fullness and abundance of this amazing life into which we are born. All is blessing, the ultimate gift to celebrate -- beyond the shopping frenzy now underway.
