"THERE DO EXIST ENQUIRING MINDS, which long for the truth of the heart, seek it, strive to solve the problems set by life, try to penetrate to the essence of things and phenomena and to penetrate into themselves. If a man reasons and thinks soundly, no matter which path he follows in solving these problems, he must inevitably arrive back at himself, and begin with the solution of the problem of what he is himself and what his place is in the world around him. For without this knowledge, he will have no focal point in his search. Socrates’ words, “Know thyself” remain for all those who seek true knowledge and being."

R.I.P.

I watched Michael Jackson’s funeral yesterday. Everyone kept referring to it as a "show".

How sad they couldn’t just let it be what it was – a funeral ceremony - a family, friends, and fans, mourning in their own way, paying their last respects to a son, father, brother, friend and great artist.

I thought: “What will mine be like and who would come?” “What would they say?”

Who will come to your funeral? What would they say?

Be at Peace,
L.
