12: "I will not fear, fear is the mind killer, fear is the little death..."

13:
suppose
Life is an old man carrying flowers on his head.

young death sits in a cafe
smiling, a piece of money held between
his thumb and first finger

(i say "will he buy flowers" to you
and "Death is young
life wears velour trousers
life totters, life has a beard" i

say to you who are silent. - "Do you see
Life? he is there and here,
or that, or this
or nothing or an old man 3 thirds
asleep, on his head
flowers, always crying
to nobody something about les
roses les bluets
yes,
will He buy?
Les belles bottes - oh hear
, pas cheres")

and my love slowly answered I think so. But
I think I see someone else

there is a lady, whose name is Afterwards
she is sitting beside young death, is slender;
likes flowers.

-- E. E. Cummings

12. The Wicker Man, hanged on the Burning Bush. Butterflies and the aurora borealis, and faces of thoughts and regrets. Waiting without expectation in the uncomfortable out-there of that which is holy.

13. Herein is a mystery; we shall all be changed.

XIIV: China Mievelle's Um Lum Dum, eternity, touch.

12: Chrysalis and how phoenix-fire leaves just the egg. Withdrawal. (Fruitful? Sometimes.) stasis.

13: Initiation. Fuck It, Delete It. In the grand scheme, everything is fleeting. Sacrifice.

The Hanged Man
the figure on the tree Reminds me of the figure on the rock in the fool. Once there, apart of the world, he is not tortured, dangling above it. It's just within his reach, but he'll never be allowed to feel the majesty of science, wonder, knowledge, sunlight, or anything else again.

such a terrible way to die.

Death
Sure, death seems cold, empty, and painful, but it's not so bad. It can be beautiful, or at least majestic and entrancing. Death is a new birth. Everything isn't so pro and con, one way or the Other. Life is multifacted and full of contradictions that work quite well with one another.

That includes death.
