MM, how was the movie? Look forward to your thoughts on the card later.
The movie was actually pretty good, even though it is more of a "guy flick". I'm not a big fan of Robert Downey Jr, but have to say he was looking goood.
Baby always promises tit for tat with movie viewings, but when it's my turn and I put on Sense and Sensibility or Pride and Prejudice he always seems to ease out of the room,,,,,
The Death card.
"Like sands through the hourglass, so are the days of our lives...."
Yeah I know it's a soap tag line,,but that's what I thought of when I saw the hourglass,,,and it's true. All of us are on a time limit here,,,some shorter, some longer, but the sands eventually run out.....
It is sister's day to meet Death, and he has come for her, to take her on to another realm.
Lyn, I had no idea what the white rose meant, so thanks for the information. And knowing now that it means "pure love", I can see what you are saying,,,I am also thinking that maybe this relates to Death and his job,,,,he isn't collecting souls as a macabre, ghoulish figure on a ghastly, fearsome mission,,,instead he comes in love, there to escort us gently and lovingly to our next phase of existence (the fact that he is a skeleton may SEEM scary, but flesh and blood are living and breathing, they must be given up to the earth).
The girl in mourning certainly looks wrung out,,,much more than sister,,,,it is SHE who is having trouble letting go,,,,not the dying woman. I take this to read that death is so much harder on the living than it is on the dying.
It is sister's time to cross over, and she is ready. Death is there to see her safely to her new existence, the next phase. It is only the life in the room that can not, WILL not accept.
And so to wrap it up I see a message that we all go through deaths,,,we must let things "die" in order to begin again. But the part of us that lives those habits, ways, and lives finds it very hard to do. Change is difficult. For some reason, we hold on to "sameness" as if our very souls depend on it. And it is excrutiating and it breaks us down,,,,,
We must learn to let go of things when nature or the powers that be deem it is so,,,learn to lovingly accept change, go with it, to meet it with all 5 senses wide open to experience the new tastes, sights, smells, sounds, and touches to come(thanks, Lyn)....,, to everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under Heaven.
