APPROACHES: Reflections on the various visitations of death

    like the kiss of a lover
    or sudden sc
    ream like a strange
    visitor or recur
    ring d
    ream death comes d
    ifferently to e
    ach . . .

    for some
    it is a deliverance
    for others it's a curse b
    ut for all it is inevit
    able:
    death
    is that which
    measures our worth.


Lis:   This art work and poem reminds me of Edvard Munch.

Ron:   There's something twisted about it. It comes from a tormented soul.

Linda: Every soul not in a state of perfect love is tormented and at this point in 
       history most humans seem to be that way.

Lex:   Eventually this planet will awaken. Be patient - the process may take 
       thousands of years. That might seem like long, but actually it isn't.
