Your voyage has always been an interesting one (to be sure). Good luck with your surgery and know that your past (or at least this part of it) is still there and rooting for you.

Good luck with your surgery and know that your past (or at least this part of it) is still there and rooting for you.

Please allow me to add a bit of levity to a weighty discussion which, as you say, is a much overdue and necessary one: Look at your last sentence! Death and Dying a Possibility? Not! It is a Certainty! In this Universe's energy all existence has a Birth... Life... Death cycle. Stars are born, live and eventually slip over the Event Horizon to become Black Holes. Astrophysicists speculate whether stars may pass through that birth canal to be born into another universe. This brings us to the possibility of multiverses and malleable time... Oh, never mind. This physical assembly of miniscule bits of universal energy has come to form almost seventy years ago, still lives and before too long shall shed this body to once again become Pure Energy to dance the Night Sky...

It's a discussion Pagans should have and one I never really talked about myself until it became more of a possibility. Ulfrun, thank you and yes, no problem at all linking to it.

I'd like to add my well wishes to those already expressed. Would you mind if I linked this post to a conversation I've been having about different conceptions of life after death? I've been trying to get something like this across but I'm not so eloquent or clear. Good luck Hraf. I’d like to add my well wishes to those already expressed.

You will have to give up the symbol and rely upon the proverbial "emptyhanded leap into the Void". Turn it over to the one closest to your heart and mind while you are in surgery. It will also help the one waiting to see you in recovery keep confidence! You shall do well. You have much to teach. No, they won’t!
