  How do you think you will handle your own death? . . . . . [language alert]

  i know it's not the lightest of topics but the current news coverage of the pope's final hours made me wonder if i'd face things as calmly as he is reported to be doing.

  i don't have his faith, or any faith anymore, but i can see how for a true believer that would be a source of strength.. the thing is, a lot of us thought we'd never die.

  do you really comprehend what a truly massive mind-fuck that is?

  " I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberatly,

  to front only the essential facts of life and to see if I could learn what it had to teach,

  and not, when I had come to die,

  discover that I had not lived"

  When I was about 6 or 8, I spend 1 year in a catholic orphanage. That experience forever parted me from anything catholic. I have only once since then set foot in a catholic church, and that was to attend the funeral service of a parent of a dear friend of mine.

  I cringe when I hear he was attended to by his private physicians etc etc etc when we all know of the proverbial little old ladies that support the opulence of the vatican.

  However, I have mellowed with age and I have forgiven THEM so that I can have peace. So may he rest in peace and may his god be with him.

  Does anyone celebrate the spring equinox

  by Satanus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  this seems like a normal thing to celebrate, if you are into celebrations.

  here in the north, the days become longer than the nights.

  more light.

  Hey S,

  The equinox also has meaning if you have a connection to nature in general, I dont think you have to live on a farm for that, although youre right, if your livelyhood is tied to it, your bound to pay more attention to it. I live in the woods, I hike in them every day, and I am very aware of the changes going on this time of year. I dont celebrate it because of culture, I celebrate because of choice..and because I can..us pagans are like that.
