Death is Weird

September 19, 2018 by szachik@pvs.org 1 Comment

By oft-poet Blogger Leo Milmet

I died.

I saw nothing.

For years I lay quietly in the cosmos,

In the space between reality and…whatever.

Then I saw pink and blue and purple and orange and green and gold and red and silver.

Then black and white and gray.

It was weird.

Like 2001: A Space Odyssey on steroids.

After the brief, psychedelic, Kubrickian mash-up, back to an eternal nothingness, full of peace and quiet.

Is this Heaven?

Probably not, but it sure is a trip.

    Socrates’ logic on death:

    if death is Something…. the we look forward to a new Experience.
    If death is Nothing……… we look forward to ultimate Peace.

    Either way….. it need not be feared.

    “death may be weird but it’s not to be feared”
