I wish to go lightly

One day the day will come

for sure

when i will die

when i will start my journey

into the Great Unknown

 

I am not afraid of that journey

I am … curious

 

But when i go

I wish to go lightly

no fuss, no tears

just gratitude

 

I wish my body given to the fire

my ashes given to the ocean

no grave

no stone

no speeches

 

I want to leave no footprint in the sand

I wish to go lightly

 

 

Just Love shall remain

Love in the hearts of the people i loved

and the beings i touched

 

lightly

 

 

ps:

The Buddha’s teaching always stresses the importance of living with the awareness of impermanence.

To be conscious of the fact that everything passes.

Also the body, also our personal life.

 

He also indicated that there is a underlying permanence,

a ground of all being.

 

Knowing this is Peace.
