Smell the Flower

that's the point

we are chased by death

we run forward to escape

 

if you forget this he will catch you

 

if you forget that, time will kill you

 

before the beauty in the middle

You may have something here .. and bigger than it might first appear .. I fear the middle bit is always best

[Pete]

that's some flower. either way we're screwed. is up to us to make the most of the time we've got - begged, borrowed or stolen.

I think this is a pessimistic ponit of view,
but I do like it, and I do think it's well written.

This is quite the opposite of pessimism. Smell the loveliness before you can't... I think it is a realistic take on this art gallery we call life. You can't stay forever in the gallery, but if you run too fast from security you won't really see anything.... (and everyone dies at the end;)

... good times!! If you look... it is literally irreplaceable. Every individual is a profound work of art.

Beauty in the middle indeed. Sometimes that is what we would truly want to capture while we suffer upon the fringes...

[Davidgeo]

I imagine it's painful being born, I've since forgotten... and I imagine it kinda sucks dying, I wouldn't know. But what I do know is that there is some high beauty in this place, we might not have a choice in the birthing and dying process, but we do when it comes to experiance. This place is lovely, it just takes a little effort. It's easier than being born, it's better than f*****g dying miserable.

Love that perspective. SInce forgotten the pain, dont know darkness of personal death. Indeed. It does take a little effort, thank you for the encouragement to proceed!
