Land of Unicorns

"I'm not afraid of Death. I just don't want to be there when it happens." - Woody Allen

     A touchy subject. One that has touched all of us. Death has gripped friends, family, co-workers and strangers. the hand Hades is not so easily dodged. And in these days, it seems the mighty Zeus himself has fallen asleep on his throne. Death is a human occurrence, and one that will take all of us but the question that arises from our mortal lives, is then what?
Some have said, not to worry about death. We are merely passing through this life. And our goal is to observe, change and continue on. There is no guarantee, in heaven or hell; purgatory or the abyss; Mt. Olympus or the Underworld; Complete Darkness or Emptiness. You can believe in the Land of Unicorns and fairy tales. None of us truly knows the next step. So what is the point of taking anguish from a land and dimension separate from our own. Come to terms with death. Know that it is coming and beyond it, is the unknown. Take what time you have now and grasp it like the hilt of a sword. It is your last, it is your only. Live the only life you have to what means you want it. Death, its a touchy subject. It will touch, it has touched all of mankind.
