I Do Not Fear Death


I do not fear death.

I held death in my arms.

I kissed death’s sweet face.

I know death intimately,

I nurtured it in my womb.

I gave birth to death.

I carry it with me always.

    Oh my...
    I too have had my share. I know it much too intimately.
    I wish we didn't

    I wish that we didn't have such an intimate relationship with death.

    I'm thinking of you. And always remembering A.

    Yes. I wish we didn't know death in this way, but there is such sweetness there, too. i held nathaniel as he died. it was the most beautiful experience i could have imagined, but it broke me apart. Not fearing death can be such a gift, but too, too hard earned. xoxoxo

    Exactly as Suzanne said - not fearing death is strange and new and great I suppose... but I'd rather just have my Seamus and live in fear of death again. Too high a price.
