Love & Death

What is not held but felt is real; hence why love exists long after death but the body does not. This is a philosophical spoken word reflection inviting us to love deeply and harness profoundly passionate and meaningful relationships in our lives.

Transcript

The humor of this all will be the face of death.

Your lover will cease to be him or her.

Your family will slowly fade out.

Everything and everyone you know will eventually see through its eyes,

Including yourself.

It's enthralling to think of this,

That the entire world you've come to know will black out like someone turned the stars off.

And that's already happened for billions of humans that walk to where you now live.

They had their fears,

Their dreams,

Their religious doctrines in one hand,

The flags of their nations in the other,

Their prejudices,

Thoughts and accomplishments written on their bodies,

Only to witness them turn into nothing,

To see their true worth.

It's only to then realize that the most important experience worth living for on this side of the grave was love.

I know that sounds cliche in a sense.

The word love gets thrown around by poets a fair bit.

But from a philosophical perspective,

I think love is the only thing that doesn't wear the mask of death.

It transcends time.

It gives meaning to our bittersweet world and purpose to our brief existence.

The Love.

Reviews

What a great message. Very important reminder for me to start the day.

Poignant

Death is inevitable for us. And now is our gift, our precious short time to love! Thank you!!!

I love this and listen to it regularly; it's comforting to hear when you're grieving. Thank you 💜

LOVE, what a profound and wonderful experience.
🙏🏻🤍🙏🏻

Absolutely 100% correct!! ❤️ Thank you for the reminder 💕

thank you for talking about death. it’s a part of life (we’re born to die), but western culture doesn’t talk about it. i recently lost my husband, my best friend of 35 years. I find solace in talks like this that help me wrap my head around death which leads me to acceptance

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️very cool thank you for sharing this with us Namaste, my new friend

Both my grandparents are passed now and are together again. It does come down to love. Thank you for this masterpiece of a mediation ❤

Yes. Death is inevitable, but it is also the source of creation. As out of the death of every moment arises the rebirth of the next moment. A moment of creation and an opportunity to change. If everything did not die, how could anything grow? It is because everything is impermanent and subject to change that many things become possible.

Thank you for sharing your insights with me and all others.

Powerful and true. I also liked that it was brief.

Thank you so much for so much truth in 2 short minutes. I lost my beautiful 20 year old daughter 6 months ago and this is exactly what I needed today ❤️🙏🏻

Thank you so much.💟

I love your thoughtful meditations. Hoping you will consider publishing more in the future. ❤️🙏

So powerful. Especially in light of the physical loss of dear ones. Would it be possible for you to share these words with me in text please? I wish to put it up on my wall. Thank you !

A message I sorely needed to hear right now.

Was it me, or did the recording end abruptly? Perhaps it needs a more fluid ending transition.

Though, a longer version would also be appreciated!

Completely agree♥️Beautiful words, beautifully spoken🙏🏻💕☮️

I want more.... it was real...

I'm humbled...thank you 💕

Just listened again...very compelling for me as an older soul...as you are. Tough road ahead, try to be gentle on yourself. Peace when possible.

What one minute can do. 🙏🏻 Thank you!
