Embracing Mortality

A fleeting glimpse of fading beauty holds timelessly within my field of vision. My heart leaps and flutters upon witnessing perfection– even if it is only just this moment. Yet– even with this vigorous reflex of my heart and mind– I know the truth all too well. Such a thing is not meant to last.
In the beginning, we are all so new, so fresh and full of life, but somewhere along the way, time makes its’ claim and takes its’ toll and our youth slips away without warning. We turn to look behind and we find that all of a sudden the years which remain ahead are numbered shorter than those that came before today.
Our lives are not the same, not for the fact of time’s toll taken on the body, but because we ourselves have changed. Life has shifted its’ focus away from its’ outside appearances and the ever-changing looking-glass of mind has turned inward. For what reason I don’t know– maybe the mind finds the fleeting beauty of the world less appealing. Or maybe it senses each breath running shorter,each year propelling one toward the grave. Wisdom must bleed trhough if only to right the wrongs that foolish youth has created.
None of us can escape this fate. We are born, we suffer and in the end find death’s sweet embrace standing firmly up on the threshold between this world and the next. We have no choice when it comes to change. In a world where almost nothing is for certain it is the one thing that is inevitable.
No, we can’t control when, where or even how we die –apart from suicide- but we can choose to cross that bridge with a balanced mind. We can lay down our anger, desire and fear. In doing so we are not just beings of truth and purity, , we are truth and light for so many others that will soon make the same journey. Such is the way of all things. Embrace your mortality. Embrace your life.
