Seen in their true light - Ajahn Jayasaro

Lets be blunt

all the people ever born

from just two groups

those who have died already

and those that are going to die

no one denies that one day they too will die

but deep down they think

yes but not yet

not today

and so many people believe that

on the very day they die

from "Seen in their true light" - Ajahn Jayasaro

The reflections on death and its

inevitability helps us focus on how we

are really living our lives. Do we attend

to what is important, loving and good.

Or do we say " Yes but not yet, not today!"
