Death is a black hole. Think about it. A black hole is the corpse of a star, something once warm and bright, now come to the end of its life cycle. But some will argue that the cycle of life does not end with death. That death is merely another path we must walk once our bodies expire and our souls ascend. In that moment, when the fuel in the star’s chemical tank hits empty and the shiny matte coat explodes into supernova, the mass left behind – the corpse – becomes a black hole. We understand that, around such a vast cadaver, dimensions work a little differently in death to the way we’re used to in life. For example, light cannot escape the pull of a black hole when it hits the point of no return. That’s where it gets its colour. Space itself is contorted by a black hole. That’s where it gets its funny shape. Even time. Time slows right down the closer you get to it. The closer you get to a black hole. The closer you get to death.

I have been very blessed in my life. I had an enduring marriage, which was filled with true, and undying love, and when that experience came to an end, my spiritual awakening began.

Donny FoleyPublished 26 days ago in HumansA Hiatus Turned Reflection
No, I wasn't dead, nor fighting off some great mystical beast tyrannizing a group of villagers. To those who look forward to what I have to say, or to put it better, write, I am genuinely sorry for my disappearance from the Vocal platform and community.

Later, she would remember that minute in bursts, as though she were standing behind a bright light that flashed between scenes, flickering oddly with colors that were too bright before her eyes:
Hidden Happiness
The world in which we live, is constantly changing, and this applies even more so in these days in which we live. With the implementation of AI into the workplace, people are beginning to fear for their jobs. With the rumors of wars circulating across the globe people are falling into fearful states, that are spurred on by changes, the likes of which we have never in human history, experienced before.
Kaylon ForsythPublished about a month ago in HumansThis Is Me... Now
Like many, witnessing the events leading up to and during the Black Lives Matter uprisings of 2020 changed me. In the past, comments about other’s perceptions of my Blackness made me feel disconnected from other Black people. However, seeing the ever-growing list of names and faces of beautiful Black men, women, and children meeting horrific ends at the hands of police, neighborhood watchmen, and the occasional Karen, along with other injustices, forced me to not only take back my Blackness from those people but own it.

My city has been deeply scarred over the last few years. Many businesses have closed and are boarded up, and countless people are on the streets, in tents, near busy roads, and in residential neighborhoods. The officials seem incapable of doing much to remedy this crisis.

Ross E Fortune LombardiPublished about 6 hours ago in HumansThe Ghosts of the Past that Haunt Us
We all carry with us some ghosts. I know I do. Psychologists say that, as adults, we can choose to pay attention to them or not. As adults, we cannot decide to behave in an old way. Of course, the caveat here is that to stop old behaviors, we must know before the behavior arises that it is coming. Forewarned is better than forearmed, as they say. That can be extremely difficult if it is a lifelong habit. The signs become so ingrained and transparent that stopping the old behavior before it appears is difficult.

Kurt MaxeyPublished about 10 hours ago in Humans Living In Harmony
We are living in a time of great upheaval, and going in a direction that separates us from our origin, by following the advances in technology, and focusing our energy on advancement in that area, solely, we are in the same process, losing a big part of who we are as we as a society, are becoming so entrenched in the technology that surrounds us, that many of us have lost touch with that which resides within us, our spirit.
