funeral prayer
I implore that God take my life away rather than deprive me of the pleasure in the simplistic, the pleasures of my unmapped experience. As they ponder the complexity of my passing, let he who loves me most whisper into the wind “a life well lived”.
As they light the flames on my funeral pyre,let my compatriots smile and whisper “his capacity for dark rum makes it an eternal fire. ”
As the screams of my lover echo into the open grounds, let my father whisper resolutely “he saw what true love is. she loved him like no other. my son. my son. ”
As my soul wanders to the heavens and embraces the gods and demons, give me one last moment with the earthbound goddess - my mother.

Independently,this is wonderful writing. Personally, its very very uncomfortable. Why are you writing this?

I get the feeling it is intended to be a reminder on how he wants to approach life, rather than death, right?
In that sense i think it is extremely powerful, and extremely Chitgo :o)

You might think this is odd, but I think I get it. And this post is beautiful...A life well lived. I've written a journal entry (or a blog entry? Nah, don't think I made it public) similar to this post of yours too a while back. Thank you for this post, and the previous one :-)
