MEDITATION ON DEATH: A thanatological musing

IMAGE: A medley of people and fire contrasted with shadowy skull with radiant light.

Linda: (gazing at the image) This image is perfect for meditation.

Lex:   No image is really fit for meditation. Meditation is the process of moving 
       beyond all thought and imagery.

Ron:   So is sleep. What's the difference?

Lex:   You have to meditate to see.
