Great Quotes

"I do not look on a human being as a machine, made to be kept in action by a foreign force, to accomplish an unvarying succession of motions, to do a fixed amount of work, and then to fall to pieces at death, but as a being of free spiritual powers; and I place little value on any culture but that which aims to bring out these, and to give them perpetual impulse and expansion." - "William Ellery Channing" :

Post on Death - By Lyra

When we fret about death and get anxious thinking about it it's because on a deep level we recognize or feel that we're "not done yet." And that's usually because we haven't truly lived to our full capacity and done all that we could do in our time so far. We have unfinished business. Things we feel we still needed to do, loose ends that should have been tied up, rifts that should have been mended and resolved, things that should have been said, trips that should have been taken and sites that should have been seen. Accomplishments - possibly incarnational goals - that we envisioned for ourselves when we were younger that we still have yet to do.

It's a good idea if we haven't started doing so already to think in this manner. If I were to die in a year's time, what would I like to have done before I go? Is there a rift out there I would have wanted to mend before going? A trip I would have wanted to take? Some sort of do-good act I would have liked to have done? Problems arise when we mistakenly fall for the modern Western societal programming that we're all going to live to make it to be 105 years old, in a nursing home somewhere. No. We won't all live to be that old. Some of us are going to die within the next year, actually. And it's okay. That's the way it goes. Just make sure you don't have loose ends lingering before you go.

Just food for thought....

John Mayer | No Such Thing Lyrics

Welcome to the real world
She said to me kind of condescendingly
Take a seat, take your life
Plot it out in black and white
Well I never lived the dreams of the prom kings
And the drama queens
Id like to think the best of me
Is still hiding up my sleeve

They love to tell you stay inside the lines
But somethings better on the other side

I wanna run through the halls of my high school
I wanna scream at the top of my lungs
I just found out theres no such thing as the real world
Just a lie youve got to rise above

So the good boys and girls take the so-called right track
Faded white hats grabbing the credits and making transfers
They read all the books but they cant find the answers
And all of our parents, theyre getting older
I wonder if theyve wished for anything better
While in their memories, tiny tragedies

They love to tell you stay inside the lines
But somethings better on the other side

I wanna run through the halls of my high school
I wanna scream at the top of my lungs
I just found out theres no such thing as the real world
Just a lie youve got to rise above

I am invincible
I am invincible
I am invincible
As long as Im alive

I wanna run through the halls of my high school
I wanna scream at the top of my lungs
I just found out theres no such thing as the real world
Just a lie youve got to rise above

I just cant wait till my ten year reunion
Im gonna bust down the double doors
And when I stand on these tables before you
You will know what all this time was for
