The One
How illusive
Yet fundamental
This concept of all
Being of one
Thus…
Deaths from far away
Create a karmic shock wave
Impacting the all as one
Often without any obvious alert
Such subtle moments ask for reactions
Allowing one to either wallow in bitterness and rage
Against an unjust fate
Or
Allow one’s inner self to take on
The spiritual responsibility
To come to terms with the experience
Define its meaning
Create the continuance
Of the vibration
Others are waiting
To neglect someone’s death
Is to allow the event to incapacitate you
To approach with reverence
To draw strength
Affirmation
And trust
Is to understand life’s pattern
How simple
Yet magnanimous
This word
One

However, death, whether it be a relative, close or distant, or even someone very far away that I don't know, has not yet in my life, caused me to grieve as though I lost a part of me. That may happen to me in the future, but not yet. For even my twin brother, as close as we have remained, and my mother, who I did not take care of in her later years, but financially contributed to her well-being along with my brothers and sister, did not cause me any pain when she died because it is natural to die and I fully accept it.
Whether it is early or late, my work is in cyberspace and will linger long after I'm gone. Whether I rest in peace or in turmoil.
