If You Died Tonight

harbor sunset reflection

I woke up singing this song this morning.  Since none of us can say with certainty that we won’t, I felt compelled to ask the question, and ask you to seriously contemplate the answer for yourself.  If you died tonight, where would you be?  Listen to this song by Big Daddy Weave and think about it.  Do you know where you would be?

  1. I have always known exactly where I would be…at the end of Mooreland Road, on the flat rock, facing East, where I used to sit waiting for my bus each morning. Pure joy!

  2. So many places there that mean so much to me that’s are hard one! Think I would like to be like a wind-chime drifting from place to place I walked upon and sat reflected. Thanks EJ very nice song! Dave & Kim

    Here is how they find it here:
    Burial Traditions:

    All across Korea, the eldest sons of the family will clean and prepare the burial mounds of their most recently deceased ancestor. Koreans traditionally buried the dead under mounds standing upright in coffins made from six planks of wood. These represent the four cardinal points on the compass plus a plank for heaven and the other for earth. Corpses either face south or toward some important spiritual part of the landscape such as mountains because these are said to be the homes of the spirits of the land and sky. Even in these modern times ancient symbolism remains important in burial and memorial traditions.

    1. This post didn’t have to do with where your physical remains would be, but where your soul will be. Our bodies all end up ashes to ashes, dust to dust, no matter where we are planted or scattered to the wind. Where my or anyone else’s physical remains end up is of no significance to me; but where the soul ends up is.
