The Difference Between Living And Dying

Leaves, while they live, hang together; dying, they fall one by one.

    Very poetic...life connects us with lives, death happens in aloneness.

    Light like life pulls things together. Darkness like death scatters.

    Ironic that your "handle" and statement on your blog about being less profound belie the profundity in your aphorisms!

    ..they fall one by one, and land in a pile with the others.

    This is one of my absolute favorites, NP. Beautifully melancholy.

    I like the unique observation of a natural act we all take for granted as it happens.

    How true, and a little sad; especially for those of us at the age when we are starting to lose friends and the top tier of family. And yet, despite dying alone, we may join in the great soup of soul from which we probably all come (and to which we all return), at which point individuality is decidedly undesirable. Who knows? But I like to think it's a possibility.

    No man is an island in life or in death. To think oneself separate from the whole is the only illusion. All other illusions arise out of it.
