RE: A RECENT MEDITATION AT THE HOMESTEAD....

in #homesteading2 years ago

This is a good post, thank you.
sadly, in the western world death is portrayed as a tragic event, even in cases where it is the end of suffering, while in reality as the saying goes, it is just a new beginning. we are taught to be so afraid of the unknown that many live their whole life without taking any risks, without doing anything they believe to be "dangerous". for this fear, many end up not living at all.
It is beautiful to see a totally different relationships people have with death in eastern and other more traditional societies where in many cases, death is celebrated. whole families gather in cemeteries with food to share with their passed loved ones. in some Pacific islands, the dead are left in the home for about a month before being buried in the immediate yard in order to allow for a gradual farewell of all family members from the dead.
wishing us all a peaceful weekend !
