Do Not Resuscitate

Do not resuscitate. If my body is at rest, have already experienced my pain, and am wounded beyond natural repair, let me pass. The Universe cannot be cheated. It is just my time to go. I, unlike most, did not just celebrate my birth just once the passing Sun. I was always smart enough to celebrate my birth and this life every second of our journey through this cosmos knowing that there would be an end. I am self-aware and I love Life. I always live in the now, live it to its fullest, and care not for regrets. Life is the only thing of value and my self-worth is based solely on how well I have assisted Life. I fear not, because I was smart, bought a telescope, and am witness to the Universe and its movements. I need not a book or a history to draw conclusions for me about my own existence, what I am, where I am, who I am, why I am here, or what I am to do. 360 degrees around me in every direction is the endless amazing abyss. Our existence and consciousness is the miracle and is absolutely the most precious in this space and time regardless of how we got here. Open your eyes and learn to appreciate and share the reality. No one has any authority to judge or claim ownership. Life is all about us. So is Death. It does not discriminate. We are the bringers, witnesses, and caretakers of Life. Grant it our respect. This Universe exhibits its endless cycle, constantly recycling itself. So why would I ever conclude that I could ever cease to exist? I have lived this Life full. Although it may take some time, from my self-observations of the workings of the Universe, I know I will be back in some form or the other. So please, do not resuscitate and learn for yourself the responsibilities of all Life and of all Death.
