Description
*The rest is silence.*
William Shakespeare
-------------------
Photoshop. 20 minutes work for September Theme "The Silence", from these sources.
As you see the title was meant to be another one.
----------------
Just a meditation about death. The most silent of all realities, here treated and faced with Ancient Greek and Roman spirit of acceptance and serenity.
The sleep of the one who lived a plenty, fair life is the rest of a soul to be remembered and treasured also from those who are to survive him.
I am forced at death's thoughts these days when a dear cousin battles for her life still after an Aneurysm occured her on Ponte Vecchio last Friday, so I prefer to see the hope even in this piece, than not.
Death is what makes us appreciate even more life, and to stand its shadow we have to believe it has some sense in the "maximum system", and that's what I do.
There are days when it's harder, but I will keep on thinkin so also in these.
Have all a nice week, and if you won't see me much online, you will know I am at the hospital supporting my family's hard time.
But everything MUST go fine, so thank you already to all those whom have showed compassion feelings towards Stefania, and all those who will. Thank you, especially Cassie, Jim and Chris, my lil lovely Tina :).Your prayers and good vibe can save her.
Kisses and treasure life always: never think nor plan on how to waste it: it still the most precious of all gifts, even when it's damn difficult to see it.
