Not me

must be Kerouac man I love when I can mention my name and his name in the same sentence. I honor myself.

Jesus Christ
Born 3 BCE
Died 30 CE

the natural order of being, to be born to die
It was a bad day at black rock when the Hebrew Children started reading Greek.

Oi
just a stone go mingo
don't mean nothing
just like dr seuss or winnie the pooh
just funny sounding marks on a page
words on a screen
drive on drive on
dont mean nothing
but nothing is something too
i have heard

just a go
hope you dont mind
I always gotta go :wink:

the memory I have of her as a child of 14, and the last picture I saw of her taken when she was in her twenties I could see the woman she had become. Both images eidetic.

She was dead for years before I heard of her death, for all those years she was alive in my memory, then I learn of her death, and she is now dead in my memory. Funny how I got the word of her death. A friend called a relative who called a relative who called me.

I may have a point here about grief

that is why we have poetry I suppose

pardon the ramble
I tried to write about it hereonce but it came out as self pity
you did as well with it as anyone could I think 8)
somehow it seems not natural for a child to die.
just sayin

It's not natural feeling, it's heart breaking.
A lot of nursery rhymes come to mind, ring around a rosy, too.

Nursery rhymes built to bring death gently to the little child. First introductions and then we tell them later, what it all means.

I was thinking that is why we have pets too.

Letting go, I suppose that is what kids learn from loving dogs. The first mourning experience for many of us.
