Vhothe vhahulwane na vhatuku vho lala zwaloni zwa vho edelaho
Vhahali na magoswi vho ladzwa tshidele
Vho awela tshengelo i lemelaho
Vho fhedza lwendo lwavho

for the very few who did not understand the above...:-)
Young and old alike sleep soundly in their graves
Warriors and cowards wonderfully laid to rest
They have rested of (a great burden) tremendous strives
Their journey is done
(Tombs – PR Ngwana – my translation)
Beautiful. But it don't ease the pain, if you own the lost. You know what else don't ease the pain of loss? "Romeo, Romeo" ala Senyaka. Scream as you might, Romeo's not getting up off of that grave to give you that money he owes you.
*sigh
Ya, tell me. How does one handle the Senyaka situation. I have to confess I wondered about that long ago....
i hate death - i cant handle it.
Right Off
very well captured...
S-83, we all hate death. It is the ultimate confirmation that truly we are on our own. Even those who die amongst thousand others in a Tsunami are ultimately alone. I have lost fear of this now and embrace the philosophy of my people: it is just another stage of life.
