Everything seems to indicate our impermanence, except maybe the pyramids..what a brave and fragile lot we are! Very good..

We all need to be reminded of our mortality. I love that you chose to write about her.

Suicide's not much of a talisman though? But certainly life is impermanent...

I like that you were able to connect ancient symbolism to a modern story that makes the saga and the insight relevant through out the ages. Beautiful construction and expression on your part, Rel. Very fluid and I thank you for sharing this.
