DEATH, WHAT WOULD THEY SAY? ā¤ļø

YBP

The strangest thing happened on my way home today. I saw a hearse. Yup, a hearse. Literally, in front of me. I just realized what it was when I needed to slow down due to the building traffic on the road.

And just like that, I went to my rich inner world and played a movie in my mind. Mind you though, Iā€™m a very safe driver with an amazing clean record to boot! Not that Iā€™m turning defensive here (although thatā€™s exactly my driving style, haha!), but I want to assure you of my multi-tasking ability (that is, driving safely on ā€œauto-pilotā€ and running free with my imagination) when I know the destination so well. And obviously, Iā€™m an expert at locating my home. (Confession:  Ooops! with the help of Waze at times.) Otherwise, Iā€™d be in deep trouble, haha!

Anyway, back to our regular programming (Excuse the side trip or mini digression.), where was I? ā€¦. Oh yes, the hearse. It got me thinking ā€¦.. Well, a lot of things get me thinking.

I actually saw myself lying there inside the coffin. Safely tucked inside the hearse. Then, after a split second, that scene segued to the funeral rites. People were standing still in deep reflection. Some shed a few tears. Others were sobbing. Melancholy filled the air ā€¦.. and it was further punctuated with the droplets of rain that started to fall. Itā€™s as if the sky was crying too.

I snapped out of that odd dream sequence when the car behind me honked. (My thought bubble went, ā€œOkay, okay! I heard you!ā€)  Then I zoomed to show the car behind me that I was very much alive, haha!

By the time I got home, I chilled and turned on the radio. KISS 102.7 played in full blast ā€œOne More Nightā€ ā€¦. The lyrics? ā€œSo I cross my heart and I hope to dieā€¦.ā€ Oh cā€™mon now! Gimme a break! I mean, I adore you, Maroon 5 ā€¦.. but really?!?! Of all your awesome songs, you serenade me with this?!?! I wouldā€™ve danced immediately if you chose ā€œSugarā€ instead!

So that set off my mind to ā€œWanderlandā€ againā€¦.and as you can easily predict, I landed in the same movie that was screening earlier on the road. Talk about perfect timing, I was in sync for the climactic portion ā€¦.. the Eulogy.

Ohhhh my heart! At that point, I needed tissue. Boxes and boxes of tissue. Why? I was touched beyond words ā€¦. with the outpouring of appreciation, the abundance of gratitude, the showcase of happy memories, the overflowing love. Deep, sweet love. And then the movie camera zoomed out gloriously to take a majestic top shot.

Next scene: Back at home, I smiled. A victorious smile.

So Death, what would they say? Well, Iā€™m writing the script of the century ā€¦.. and Iā€™m starting today! ā¤ļø

Just for laughs, I prefer white! šŸ™‚

Hello there! Iā€™m Yeka and I love LOVE. My heart goes pitter patter at the sound of my hubbyā€™s loving voice. I'm undeniably a hopeful romantic haha! My smile shines from east to west when I bond with my family. My passion for lifelong learning further ignites when I train and serve my students. My eyes sparkle with gratitude when I recount the billion blessings I enjoy. My soul embraces the horizon when I share the countless miracles I witness. In my journey, I stay in awe of the simple yet profound truth. ITā€™S ALL ABOUT LOVE. ā¤ļø

    1. Death. One of the sure things in life. šŸ™‚
      Anyway, personally, I’m cool to talk about death (no matter how painful it is to lose someone you love) because I see it as a transition to the next chapter of our lives …. eternity. And I see it as a homecoming to our True Home, Heaven. šŸ™‚
