Life Life

Death does not exist
we are all immortal
and everything is immortal. At seventeen
one should not fear death, nor at seventy.
Being and light alone have reality, darkness and death have no existence.
We are all already on the shore of the sea
and are among those who drag the nets
while immortality gleams beside them.
Live in the house and it will not fall down.
I shall call forth any century at all,
to enter into it and build my house.
This is how your children and wives
will sit with me at the table.
One sole table for ancestor and descendant.
The future is happening now.

-Arseny Tarkovsky

You and me both. Worst case senario, I have the left side of my thyroid removed. I say good riddance. It has caused me nothing but trouble since all this trouble began.
