sometimes they remember the car crash, the fainting, the fading, the lack of oxygen, the pain before flatline, but often they just start floating above their body, not theirs, not anymore, just a body lying below, they remember doctors, music playing, full paragraphs of spoken words from nurse conversations, some even remember hearing thoughts, that patient is going to die, or we need to shock her one more time, many then soar upward toward the light, a light, the universe, god, jesus, stars, angels, or into darkness with a white tunnel in the distance, each experience with death is as different as our toes, all of their life moments flash through them, the good, the bad, things said, things done, regrets, & when they served others, many call the light home, or pure love, most don’t want to go back to their body, back to earth, to taxes, to fear, to jobs, to the stress of being a human being instead of a soul, but each was sent back with instructions: be kinder, less greedy, love more, be grateful, don’t take your life, anyone’s life, for granted.

Doing Nothing
is the goal, not posting a video, watching a video, reading to be smart, to look smart, not making money to buy things online, not trying to appear cool, with photos of vacations to beaches, to mountains, co-opted nature into image, brand, style, so they will notice, not listening to music, the latest, the popular, the ai generated beats of computerized algorithms, not absorbing the news, not musk, bezos, gates, or white house, or made up stories about clint eastwood hitting muhammad ali, not running or exercise, or talking about running or exercise, or posting photos of protein-enhanced smoothies to live forever, not podcasts with wisdom & sponsors & ads, so many ads, not anything, nothing, except maybe god or the universe, or breathing, yes, just that.
