Life and Death. Both are essential to each other. Most of us struggle with the idea of death. But is it not the same as Life? Life is a journey, which we all undertake each and every day. Is Death all that different? It is a journey in which we all partake. Life is unpredictable, as is Death. It happens unexpectedly to the best and to the worst people. Eventually Death will find you and me, so there is no sense in trying to hide from it. When Death finds me, I plan to face it with out panic and fear, and say “Time to find out what’s next.”

I’m almost intrigued by the mystery of Death. We hear all of these “near Death experience” stories, but how much of that is BS or truth is debatable. I do believe that there is some sort of higher being or power. I refuse to believe that we are all random beings who have evolved from Neanderthals. When we die, our bodies may rot in the Earth, but I am certain that our spirit separates from our body. There is too much that science cannot explain for there not to be something else.

Death brings tragedy and sadness. And focusing on Death will only bring it closer to you. It is best to focus on the present, because the more you think about Death the quicker it will find you. It comes and goes just like the tide ebbs and flows. The tide will always be constant, just as Death will always exist. Just as the water will always touch your feet and pull you in. Death will always grab hold of us and pull us in painfully and slow, or unknowingly and quickly. It’s coming for you and I, so why live in Fear? Life is here for us to live. Death is here for us to die, and after that? We can only wait to see.
