Thread Name: BS: Death
Subject: BS: Death
I just wanted to comment on something I've noticed and see what other people have to say. I saw a dead cow today and noticed something I've noticed before. She was lying still in the stall and from the way she was lying could have been asleep but, though I could only see her tail as she was covered with a blanket, having been ill, I knew immediately that she was dead. Alright, there is no breathing movement, but that is often only minimal anyway. There is just something missing from a dead creature that makes it so obviously dead. I assume humans are the same though I've never seen a dead person. The stillness of death is different from living stillness.

Love Lynne
