Life
& Death
Life is a
journey that traverses time and events. It is a spiral that culminates with
death.
Every life
begins as a small seed. The seed is planted and nurtured to grow into a big
strong flower.
The seed is
aided by watering and feeding as it moves on the journey through growth.
This growth
produces a flower that radiates beauty. As the season passes the flower begins
to age, wither and grow old. The plant that began as a seed many moons ago is
beginning die. Death is near.
So it is with
life. Conception starts life. Then through caring and nurturing life is
stimulated. A human being is created.
In mid-life the
being radiates beauty, much the same as a new flower. But the death spiral
starts.
Death is a long
slow spiral down into nothingness. Yet out of death springs new life. For in
death the flower spreads its seed to renew life. Humans spread their seed
throughout their life, not waiting until the death spiral begins.
Yet even here
the cycle of life is renewed before the spectre of death comes knocking at the
door.
Life and death
would not exist without the other.
