"... my internal universe was unavailable for inspection by others.
They didn't know. They didn't know, because I never told them."
Kim Stanley Robinson
Death is inevitable and cannot be escaped. Sometimes it is unexpected and way too sudden while in other situations, life can hang on seemingly way too long. Life has power just as love. It can spring forth in the most questionable spaces and unsuspecting places.
So if death would greet us today, what would we be leaving behind. Our private quarters would reflect our nature and private collections, but what of the multitude of treasures residing inside of us? There are unspoken words, unexpressed emotions, and nuggets of our deepest desires.
As we pass through the veil into a new realm, we might catch bits of questions from those delicately left behind. What was she really like? Who did she admire? What was she expecting from heaven? Which were her favorite books? What was her greatest joy or regret? So many speculations about what we have kept hidden; perhaps, the key to our existence.
