“You know the more you near your destination, the more you’re slip-sliding away.” – Paul Simon

It drives me crazy how doctors want to make everything cheery and fearful. It’s pure business. We had better be afraid of

Our bodies

Because they can only

Be treated and it will cost

Us a great deal of THEIR TIME and

EQUIPMENT to

Even survive in life and that is because we are taught death is terrifying and unknown when in fact we only need study the ancients.

We only

Need look at physics

To know even when

The body

Miraculously holding together a party of photons gives

Into the

Last dance, we don’t go away and neither do our guests because like threaded lace we are connected to each other forever. Forever.
