Poem -

STOPS + STARTS

In the moment before
conception

Before I allowed myself to,
Kickstart a heart
I rose, momentarily, to thank
them

For allowing me...to start...

And in the moment before
death, before the
 air unfills
With no more breath
And while I place my heavy
luggage, before that welcome
Open door
I shall rise once more and
thank them
For allowing me
To be...no more...

And in the moment before
death, ......
I shall rise once more 

This is an astonishing phenomenon that when a person was going to die, s/he could do something like talking or running far away by using the latest adrenaline/energy! In Chinese, it's called "迴光返照" - only 4 words to describe it.

Well done in your fav subject.

Wow...really interesting reply Yiyan...thankyou. I have always wondered how long it takes you to write in those symbols?? 🤗🤗

How long? Marion, think quicker than you finish the verse to describe the phenomenon, as I said the Chinese phrase only has 4 words that describe it vividly!

No...I meant when you write say, a letter in your language. Does every symbol represent a letter or a word? It is so different from our alphabet I'm just fascinated that's all...

Being grateful for what you have and the life you live? That's my take on the message, awsome way to convey it. Peace to you Marion! Your friend, Max

This is profound. A sort of acceptance to it. Acceptance of it all, life, death and all it entails x

I believe in reincarnation. I am not sure how or when it happens after death but I believe our souls are older than the bodies we inhabit x
