Home sweet home.Ok, I know this is a bit morbid (and existential). Or at least it seems that way. But consider that when we die, our bodies are modified in a new way, and if we are able to accept the reality of our own dying, living becomes more meaningful. And (as some Buddhists say) if we become comfortable with the notion of the impermanence of everything, it is easier to let go of attachments, and attachment is what causes suffering.
How's that for a cheery way to start a Friday!!! :-)))))
we are all eventually so modified. I would prefer sky burial myself.
ReplyDeletePretty cheery, by my standards!
ReplyDeleteWhen I was younger I could not figure out why RIP was put on all tomb stone drawings. Like...your ripped because you are dead. Then one day I awoke from my dumb blonde sleep and realized what it meant. Great concept Willie.
ReplyDeleteeeek...
ReplyDeletegreat sentiment and cool drawing
ReplyDelete(yes indeed pink rocks)
Well done! I dig this one.
ReplyDeletenice bones!
ReplyDeleteAlso have heard individual life described as a momentary divergence from the great river - by someone quoting a Tibetan Lama
ReplyDeleteIt LOOKS comfy if that doesnt sound too creepy :p
ReplyDeleteI would like to be cremated, formed into diamonds and then poured into shotgun cartridges. I'd then like my eldest child to use me to murder a wild boar, dress the boar in my clothes and have an open casket funeral.
ReplyDeleteNice illo, btw! ;)
Definitely not something I would have thought about for this week's word, but very fitting. Great job! and very unique idea!

OK... that's definitely not something i would think about. cool lines as always :)
ReplyDeleteYou are always amusing and clever. Nice work!
ReplyDeleteExcellent post Willie. I did read this (about the acceptance of impermanence of things, even people) and a friend and i were actually discussing this when his grandma died. It's something we should all strive for more.
ReplyDeletenow that's what i call an interesting take on the topic!
ReplyDeletealways enjoy your takes on the prompt. clean, thought out & to the point
ReplyDeleteLove it.
ReplyDeleteI agree that we need to let go and in my book , just trust that if plan A isn't working, Heaven has a plan b, c, d, and e.
i like this, it makes death kind of... nice? it makes me smile. which death often doesn't.
