Beyond Death's Door


Heaven, hell, another life,
or even nothing at all.

We may think we know
what lies beyond death's door,
but our knowing is really only
a decision to believe we know.

When we give up knowing
and instead live each moment
as an opportunity to do our best,
death will arrive for us in due time
as one more pleasant surprise.

Tuning In

I watch the news to learn the what, not why
All that they give is endless punditry.
