I Interrupt This Litany of Litanies...

to give you
a poem
my dad wrote
(which I edited the tiniest bit).
 

Dying is Changing
   by Jonathan Pratt

From judgement of events
From judgement of intents
From Goods, Bads, Trues, Falses, Wrongs or Rights.
From regretted or resented
   pains felt,
   pains dealt.
From Wants, Needs, and hopeful, fearful Mights.
From me.
From we.

To peaceful awareness, unending Living.

Am I dying yet?
Am I dead yet?
The questions are the answer:
Yes, but no, not yet.
