No Trumpet

Filed under: Teachings — roshihogan @ 12:03 am

Death does not sound a trumpet. You do not know when it is coming. All we can be sure of is that it is inevitable. Thoreau on his death bed remarked to a visitor “You are as close to death as I am.” One minute here, the next not. Death confuses, it frightens. However, think of this, before we die, we do not know that perhaps death is the doorway to the greatest joy. If you follow the way of the masters, there should be no fear. Death is not the end, but just a continuation. As life ends, we begin new journeys.
