Maybe Dying is Like an Orgasm
My life is
short and in a blink of an eye it is gone.
This was brought home to me as an absolute truth when I was diagnosed
with leukemia. I have learned so
much. I learned that I have to really
live, every moment of every day. If it
is a shit day, I can look forward to a better day. When it is a better day, I really appreciate
it because life is like a pendulum. It
does not stay good forever either.
I will not lie
down and say woe is me. I will live,
love, shock, swear, laugh cry, and dance while I am alive. I will live until I die. I will face this monster of an illness and I
will tame it. I will turn the leukemia
and breast cancer from a monster into a chameleon. I will live without fear. I face this and
live with courage and boldness. I live daringly,
feeling every emotion and doing what I like and what I want when I can.
Let me give
thanks for the love and companionship of those I love. It is far more important for me to love than
to be loved. Let me be grateful for the
miracle of life. Out of my inner pain,
may I learn to touch my fellow creatures with compassion, empathy and
understanding. Let me do the things I
need to do or say what I need to say to everyone right now. I will not let one day go by that I say that
I did not live, that I let something slide by, that I did not make someone else
smile, that I did not take the time to hug someone or tell them how much I love
them.
May I have the
courage to live fully so that when I return to Source, I can say, “I really
lived!” I no longer fear death but look
forward to it with eager anticipation for the next adventure of a lifetime. And who knows?
Maybe dying is as pleasant as an orgasm.
