Learning how to Live

Student of Nothing

The Living Spirits (Can you see them?)

Illumination of Ancient Names and Ancient Faiths

" Oh, Dear Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune, and Mars. May Venus sleep for you. "

" May I dream through you; and may we speak of nothing "

(The one opens the eyes and thinks to write)

- I am a student learning how to die better.

" Let us not forget the gifts and curses we have been given...for they may be passed on; and used against us "

"Nothing is real here... and I am lost in the darkness, among the congregation of the phantoms...who live beside us during the day and night"

" To be content in the darkness must be a beautiful thing; but perhaps it is not for everyone "

"Sometimes I feel I can hear their cries shine through..."

(I am a student of nothing learning how to die better)

" Was it so long ago that their thoughts are just now reaching us? From so far away... so far away...in the light... I feel their dreams... I feel their emotions... carried by decarnate...too my mind"

(May we learn to see their vision; and hear their thoughts)

- Nothing is real in the future; I am a student of the future and wisdom.

" We face this path of time; and it might as well be together"

" When you are ready. Follow the thoughts of the shiny ones; and meet them as incarnate" N

" May my body be the student's playground; as the current occupants did not die so well...with such content...without being hateful...with such respect for my body; and such congregations around them" M

- May nothing exit hell; as nothing is real. For I am a student of nothing; learning how to die better. U

    Excellent formatting that lends different voices to different parts in a simple yet effective way. Some very memorable lines that stick in your head. Especially that closing line. Glad to see some original photography on here and some writing that is a little different. Maybe it was the prompt, but many submissions seem to all blend together...
