For Things to be Revealed





Is death really tragic?  Or do we always insist that it is? I have heard it expressed in yogic philosophy that nothing is good or bad.  What exists are the projections and labels we place on things only.  If I let go of my fear of loss, of the parts of myself I believe exists in the others that I love, maybe I will cease my belief that death is tragic.  Maybe death can be beautiful.  Or maybe death is not tragic or beautiful, but simply is.  I have just as easily become comforted by the idea that death is beautiful as I have been destroyed by the idea that it is tragic.  And then, finally, I reach the idea that death is not not tragic or beautiful...that it is both and that the picture is bigger than I can see.  And that is the real comfort.
