the afterlife?
what comes after cancer? is there a cancer afterlife?
one could ask The Boss whose wife often spends
3 months at a time in bedsores with multiple myeloma💣
or ask Chuck Prophet who has recently risen from
metastatic invasion +ensuing enslavement to chemo
and radiation unprophesied+shock
as old Epictetus proclaimed 2000 yrs ago don’t seek
for all to happen as you wish it would rather wish
that all happens as it will then your life will flow well
face it there is no grand plan no universal design it’s
chaos in the trenches and we are all subject to the same
forces despite all the shit they feed us re heaven+hell
btw (..hell is other people.. J.P. Sartre)
good+bad things happen to good+bad people why me?
why NOT you! being free really fucking no holds barred
free means accepting that you have zero control
that your animal body will grow old +die that your luminous
spark your spiritus mundi will lead you to the otherside where
the light at the end of the tunnel lives
how much better would human life be if they taught you+me
to believe that impermanence is not the enemy grasping and
clutching at the mast of an ever sinking ship is
(..the bad news is nothing lasts forever..
..the good news is nothing lasts forever.. H.I. Atkins)
real freedom is diving in courage is allowing terror peace is
revelling in your abandon said Tom Petty who at 66 sat on his
couch dreaming of retiring
with wife+grandkids in an Airstream 💥massiveinfarction💥
from 67 substances used to dull the pain of various excruciating
animal-ailments so REVEL! for chrissakes REVEL!
