      What kills love is not time but the hunger unfed, the fire untended, the body that forgets how to say yes.

      Entropy

      She left him and he left her long before thier bodies did. There was no fighting  no acrimony  just a palpable slide into entropy, the natural way of all things to lose order and decay.

      • I get this. I wish I didn’t. You bring things out that most of us won’t express. Thank you for sharing, Peter.

          Unfortunately, for those prone to self reflection, we are acutely aware of the five remembrances of Buddhism.
          Just in case you have forgotten them….

          I am of the nature to grow old.
          There is no way to escape growing old.

          I am of the nature to have ill-health.
          There is no way to escape having ill-health.

          I am of the nature to die.
          There is no way to escape death.

          All that is dear to me and everyone I love are of the nature to change.
          There is no way to escape being separated from them.

          My actions are my only true belongings.
          I cannot escape the consequences of my actions.
          My actions are the ground on which I stand.
