2 Dead Bodies

“So there’s a black guy and 2 dead bodies. . .” sounds like the start of a politically incorrect joke or maybe even an “alleged” police report 😳 but it is neither ; twas the start of my day. This morning I attended the funeral of my Uncle (as much my Uncle as any man who has strolled this 🌎) & 2 things stuck with me. 

     The funeral/memorial, is SOLELY for the living.  The pastor (remember, I’m weird) was more advertising than eulogizing.  To be honest I could care less what your home church is, I ain’t in the mood to be solicited a membership into a home church. . . Blah blah yakkity smakkity : we are laying a loved one to rest bruh.  The pastor was a blessing & I thank him for his words & time.  I was not speaking negatively of the pastor, I feel the same about most pastor’s eulogizing.  I probably somewhat explain with me 2nd takeaway. 

     The 2nd body. The 2nd takeaway.  As I said, after the pastor’s initial prayer I continued staring at the ground while I simultaneously, ceased listening to the pastor as he began pontificating about one thing or another.  Anyway, as I’m looking at the ground I notice a squad of 🐜 🐜🐜 & they are dismembering that 2nd body that I had mentioned. I do not claim to know the deceased 🦗 nor do I know his/her cause of 💀 but I do know that if nothing else . . . It served a purpose. At worst, 🦗 was food. Food for a multitude of 🐜🐜🐜 (amongst other things). At best, 🦗was food in 💀 & a good 🦗in life.  If the latter is true, good ole 🦗was food in both life & death.  The good energies that you project to others, the knowledge you share, the missteps that you speak upon, the responsibilities that you both create & fulfill . . . Each of these things are types of food & a life well spent is a life feeding others these “good meals.”  Feed someone. Feed someten.  Give something to someten who cannot give something to you (you may need to read that a few more times).  My Unc wasn’t a millionaire but he fed ppl on the daily : sometimes with a kind word, sometimes with a hilariously random remark but regardless. . . He fed ppl. Go cook & remember the recipe.

Oh, and as far as the two bodies : the cricket’s was the more important of the 2.  The one in the ⚰️ is an empty shell, a 🚂 than ran out of fuel : all passengers have exited to other destinations.  The 🦗’s body was still feeding those around it . . .
