The End is The Beginning

Early this morning, I received unexpected news from a good friend of mine, my sistah who only moved to Brazil a week ago that his ex who is also our friend passed away.

We were just talking about him 3 weeks ago.

He was happy with his new life new job and my friend was equally proud of him that he turned his life around.

All of us been to so many party together in Dublin and we did Circuit Barcelona as well in 2018.

In September that year they tie the knot, one wearing blue suit and one in red suit.

We did many right and wrong together and now only the memories left that I will cherish forever.

Both of us were ridden badly with addiction back in Dublin but his battles were incomparable i guess.

I saw him in his bad days and he deserved all the kindness and love in the world.

The marriage not surprisingly took it toll and after multiple failed attempts to sobriety , he returned home in Brazil for good.

It was a joy to hear he was doing very well since and his sudden death came as a big shock.

The 2nd big loss for us. Two beautiful people gone too soon.

Years ago we were partying all night before death took one of our friend the very next day.

And now death took him away.

I didn't want to write about death this early but now its the right time.

Death will surely greet us at some point in life sooner or later.

Nobody knows how much time there is left .

I used to be scared of death but I dont anymore.

A new perspective on life and death learnt through my own journey.

Death is no stranger in my personal life and in my career when I was doctor.

Saving lives and caring for the very sick and dying patients were the privillage I had and honoured .

If death had a face then we would have been besties.

Death is the door to freedom and the world is the hidden prison.

The world will entice , distract and deceive us to fall for its glories and beauties.

Nothing is unfortunately ours nothing is everlasting.

There is no reason to be scared of death.

We must love the death more or as much as we love this world.

Death is not the end but the beginning.

Yes it's the farewell to this material world but we not done done.

The soul is our true self and the body simply the vessel.

The mortal body will have to go at some point but the soul remains.

As energy we never really die.

Energy cannot be created or destroyed but can only be transformed from one form to another.

Rumi saw death as the curtain and behind it we will always rise again.

The great poet and sufis also reminded us that one escape the death by knowing god and knowing our trueself.

Otherwise , we will be reborn again into this world stuck in the cycle of birth, live and death or samsara.

I have lived many lives and died many times in different bodies different personas.

Reborn again and again with no memory of the past.

I finally remember myself and the cycle is broken.

Am ready whenever death is.

To our dear friend you might not be here but you will rise again.

Save the tears.

See you someday.
