For death begins with life's first breath
And life begins at touch of death
And life begins at touch of death
-John Oxenham
This morning my school was shocked to hear that the Soccer coach had died early that morning from a heart attack. I didn't have the chance to meet him personally, but I have seen that his sudden death impacted many of the kids. It makes one think of the reality of death; how we all stay behind while another goes somewhere else that we don't know. We realize that someday it will be our bodies buried under the ground surrounded by insects that eat ones flesh or burned in a fiery furnace. The prospect is unimaginable, but it is the course of life. Or is it? Is our life on Earth just a shadow of the real thing? Since we only know the world that we live in , we only know this reality, where death seems like the final event. Or is it? You decide.
