This is not a dream, but I wanted to share some thoughts with you so I post them here..
Today my neighbour untill a few months ago commited suicide. While we build our house we rented a place and this young man lived on the ground floor. He was a bit weird and withdrawn, he never accepted any invitations from us, he kept to himself. But he seemed to appeciate our presence, bringing us loads of fruits from his fields. Once I made jam from it and gave him a jar. He came back with the empty jar and tolded me it was nice, but not as nice as his mum's. We talked a little bit, but it was very difficult to conversate with him, he was so withdrawn. He talked a lot with our youngest son, though. This man had a dog that he was very found of. One night in the spring I heard some terrible screams, and when I ran down it turned out that the dog had been poisened (by the poison the farmers use on their crop), the screams came from the owner. I tried to call for a vet and we tried to feed the dog milk, but within half an hour he died. This young owner was very sad after this, he buried the dog in the yard and sat out there reading in the afternoons. Once he showed me the book he was reading, it was by a Norwegian writer and he had read all his books. And that was about it...We moved, and this young man haven't been in thoughts at all. Untill today. He killed himself by taking the same sort of poison that killed his dog...
A little while ago I read a book about Edgar Cayce where it said: Some get some absorbed studying the map that they never do the journey..The "journey" is here and now, and all that is to it is to be good...I'm going to remind myself of that more often.

For almost everybody it's always difficult to face death...
Well,I see death in another way. This poor man killed himself...and this is very different from the real time of death.

I will not enter in religious - for me - aspects of what he did.
But I believe that this - dealing with suicide - was one part of his karma. He failed.

We all have to leave this planet one day...when we'll be ready,when we had acomplish our mission.

I'm not affraid of death, in fact, I believe that when we die,we go back home. But as we are here, we have to make our best. If you are following your path,it's because you are ready to do it.
In this planet,we have 6 billion people,how much are searching for their path ?

You're right,we have to live,enjoy life,enjoy every minute of our day - I do that - but also, we must know that we have to develop not only our talents as a human being,but we have to develop our soul...

Buddha teach us the Middle Path,-If it stretches too much the rope tears, if leaves too free, it doesn't play.The path for enlightment is the middle way.

I think this is what we have to do: Follow the midle way...not to much,not to little

Take care dear
