Energy. Life. Death. All of it. We rise and we fall and then we rise once more. We’re all on different paths, but death doesn’t discriminate. It comes for everyone. It’s what you do with it that sets you apart.
Under the Whispering Door / TJ Klune

He said that men believe the blood of the slain to be of no consequence but that the wolf knows better. He said that the wolf is a being of great order and that it knows what men do not: that there is no order in this world save that which death has put there.
Cormac McCarthy, The Crossing

“picture a wave in the ocean.
you can see it, measure it-its height,
the way the sunlight refracts when it passes through.
it's there, and you can see it.
you know what it is. it's a wave.
and then it crashes on the shore, and it's gone.
but the water is still there.
the wave was just a different way
for the water to be for a little while.
that's one conception of death for a buddhist.
the wave returns to the ocean where it came from
and where it's supposed to be.”
- chidi anagonye

It is said that when your father dies then advise (nasiha) for you has died with him; and when your brother dies then part of your blessings has died with him; and when your mother dies then part of your light (nur) has been put out; and when your sister dies then part of your smile would be lost; and when your close friend dies then your eyes have gone blind. Life is very short and should not be wasted on grudges, envy, hatred and breaking family ties. Smile with people, lower your wing and do your very best to uplift those around you.

But a life without art, without wonder, without beautiful things she would go mad. She has gone mad.

You will die. You will not live forever. Nor will any man nor any thing. Nothing is immortal. But only to us is it given to know that we must die. And that is a great gift: the gift of selfhood.
Ursula K. Le Guin, The Farthest Shore
