Emily Dickinson - Because I could not stop for Death --


Because I could not stop for Death --
He kindly stopped for me --
The Carriage held but just Ourselves --
And Immortality.

We slowly drove -- He knew no haste
And I had put away
My labor and my leisure too,
For His Civility --

We passed the School, where Children strove
At Recess -- in the Ring --
We passed the Fields of Gazing Grain --
We passed the Setting Sun --

Or rather -- He passed Us --
The Dews drew quivering and chill --
For only Gossamer, my Gown --
My Tippet -- only Tulle --

We paused before a House that seemed
A Swelling of the Ground --
The Roof was scarcely visible --
The Cornice -- in the Ground --

Since then -- 'tis Centuries -- and yet
Feels shorter than the Day
I first surmised the Horses' Heads
Were toward Eternity --

Date: 29 Jun 09 - 11:00 PM

definitions of alive:

1."alive" in the bodily sense - means that the various automatic processes of the body such as heartbeat, breathing, and brain activity are continuing in the normal fashion. If all those activities should cease for a period of time longer than, say, a minute or so...then the body is said to be "dead". This says nothing about the soul, but only the body.

2. "alive" in the mental sense - means that the brain is still functioning in such a way that normal mental processes are occurring or can occur, such as thought, emotions, logic, mental analysis and reactions to things, etc. Thus a person in a coma might be said to be "brain dead", although still physically "alive". A person who is asleep might appear to have no mental activity at all occuring, but they might be dreamin...and in any case, their mental activities will resume the moment the start to dream or wake up, so they cannot be said to be mentally "dead" while in deep sleep.

3. "alive" in the spiritual or moral sense (in some traditions) has a number of meanings. Someone who can and is willing to still improve himself/herself spiritually or morally is definitely alive in the spiritual and moral sense. Someone who cannot or WILL not do so is dead in the spiritual and moral sense, although quite they may be quite alive in the mental and physcial sense.

There are a lot of spiritually dead people walking around busily and making deals with one another all over this world. Some of them are well known, most are not.

But somewhere in between.
Some parts of me are pinkish
while some others have turned green.
Some parts of me have fallen off,
while some are still connected.
But half the stuff that's still attached
looks putrid and infected.
So when I lay me down to sleep
upon my pillow soft,
I pray that come the morning
nothing new has rotted off.

As Dorothy said, "normal" usually means whatever is considered the norm in a given culture.

What is seen as "normal" in one culture, obviously, can be seen as quite "abnormal" in another.

***

Beyond that, "normal" can also mean: "the way it usually happens or is observed to happen".

For instance, human pregnancies normally last approximately nine months. A pregnancy that lasted only 7 months or that continued to 12 months would not be seen as a "normal" pregnancy.

Nietsche obviously had a rather peculiar notion of "heaven" if he thought that all the interesting people would be missing. ;-) I do get the joke, though. Perhaps he was referring to Southern Baptist heaven or something along that line.

DEAD WILLIE BLUES ~
                      Mike Cross

I did not wake up this mornin'
I did not get out of bed
I looked down from the ceiling,
And I saw that I was dead...I got those...

(CHORUS):
Dead Willie Blues,
Old Dead Willie Blues--
Well, how long have I had 'em?
These old Dead Willie Blues.

My wife called from the kitchen
Said "Get up, it's time for work."
Then she came in here and found me
Lyin' cold and dead as dirt. With these old...

CHORUS

The doctor came to see me
And then he told my wife,
"I think he's dead," but my wife said,
"He's like this every night!" He's had them...

CHORUS

Undertaker came to get me
And my wife said through her tears,
"I wish you wouldn't haul him off
He ain't been this stiff in years!" He's had them...

On the other hand, I can see a cool and shady corner of my garden, with a tinkling water feature, and fish to watch....maybe I ain't dead just yet, and a comfy chair and a drink will put all to rights again.

Old Ways ~
                Neil Young

Old ways,
it sure is hard
to change 'em
Come what may
It's hard to teach
a dinosaur a new trick
Lately I've been finding out
I'm set in my ways
Old ways,
can be your ball
and chain.

Oh, I'm gonna stop that grass
And give up all this drinking
Really gonna make my life last
Clean up my whole way of living
Up until the party last night
I was a different man
But old ways
got their way again.

The economy was getting so bad
I had to lay myself off
Well, working was a habit I had
So I kept showin' up anyway
Then one day
things turned around
I got my back pay
Old ways
comin' through again.

I got old ways.

I did get some calls about 2 1/2 months ago after the rumour went round that I had died. It was interesting to hear the sharp intake of breath on the other end of the phone when I answered.

Still alive!

Died twice, on July 3rd 2009.

Resuscitated twice, once by defibrillator and once by doctor leaping up and down on my chest, breaking all the ribs on my left side in the process.

Thanks to surgical and medical staff at Aberdeen Royal Infirmary (Scotland) for their expertise and aftercare, being second to none in either respect.

Thanks to Maeve for her welcome back missive.

I was still alive before I had that glass of Highland Park in the pub while waiting to get through to the mini-cab compamy.

Refreshments? Any good 12-year single malt will do!

Wouldn't it be more efficient to have the people who ARE dead post to announce that?

Yes, Genie. Efficient. Thread over.

Well, mother has chalked up another year, her 93rd if my math is correct. She's still painting beautiful pictures and engaged in several other creative projects with others associated with her books and her paintings.

I'm still around as well.

Can you refresh if you're decomposing? How about, reputrefy?

Mrrzy: "Can you refresh if you're decomposing? How about, reputrefy?"

I can imagine us composers, start to 'DE-compose' when we stop composing. The rest is just elementary!

I've had lots of early nights just lately so I am very much alive. I am doing this to combat the SAD.

Well, I've had quite a few adventures this past year, and I feel like I've been having lunch next to a firing range. Nothing's aimed at me, but the bullets keep whizzing past my ear. Still alive, though.
