The feelings of death and homelessness

 Something is happening.  Floofy's death brought that feeling to me, of death and having to deal with it, and it hasn't gone away.  Some other incident brought about that feeling of homelessness, and of how unstable reality is.  People are generally afraid of such matters but I have experienced those before, and I am not really afraid of it per se.  It's more like that I don't want to have to deal with it.  But we all have to deal with it, and that makes the feelings of death and homelessness to be spiritual awareness.  Isn't spiritual awareness supposed to be some sort of peaceful feeling?  There is no peace in this life.  The peace is in making peace with what you fear, and confronting it with as little emotion as possible.  Some might say that we cling to the earth over the hereafter.  It's not that for me: I want the hereafter so much more than this world.  But I have so much more work to do to earn my place in heaven.  And you Natty, you are a reason to live.

Let's talk about dinner.  I made chicken tenders for dinner.  Just a simple recipe: slice the chicken into thin strips, coat in flour then egg then breadcrumbs, then fry it up.  Ah, you like chicken tenders!  You can find them at most restaurants in the West.  My difference is that I don't overcook them.  You know what I mean: right when pink turns to white.  Plus, eat them while they're hot!  They're so good!

Here's a really nice snapshot from the last page of the How does your avatar look today ? thread.  It's taken by a newbie, but that only means she's a newbie to the forums.  Second Life noobs seem to be more prepared nowadays.  Check out that hair!  Isn't that nice detail?
