What is death?
Death is a question to ask.
There is no answer
It is impossible.
We shall all leave earth, but it is not death
Every day we disintegrate.
Bit by bit we leave the face of earth
Losing the touch of the ground.
Floating to what will become.
But-it-is-no-death.

Photographer unknown.

This is Michelle's special good luck pendant. It is a picture of a dragon, and her grandmother gave it to her when she was age 10. Michelle has never taken it off since then.
