dying the happy death
September 13th 2006 12:26
When I was told Steve Irwin died, i had to ask - who is that?
'crocodile man'
The face in the shadow no longer in shadow, but nor was it Mona Lisa- portrait. Then I heard about Brock's death. The name and face familiar, but again no image burned to the retina.
Fame and feat mean nothing to death. He will continue to watch from his unseen hill playing his tune - we will all come to dance to his flute.
I will not say I mourn, for I do not. I leave that for the people who loved them. It is only theirs to claim.
Perhaps the stones should read - do not long grieve, for I died the happy death...and you must do the same.
