Betwixt & Between



Will there come a time that I long for death?
Or will I wish desperately not to have to leave?
Could this not be one of the most unsettling human thoughts?
One of us will go first
I am healthy
You are old
Dark deathly clad
Or
Angel winged
Long after
I’d like an elephant to caress my dried bones
And my great-grandchildren to desperately seek
Which path I took out of my body
And chart my exact location
Just in case
I want to make a quick come back
And jump into a half-built body
Midstream
For a moment
To feel gloriously unsettled

Human Composting Interview

Image
Tom Gilbert owner of Black Dirt Farm in Stannard, Vermont gives a quick overview of what composting humans in Vermont might look like. Human Composting has recently been made legal in Washington State and it won't be long before other States follow suit. There are many considerations and by no means is this interview the extent of Gilbert's knowledge or thoughts regarding human composting. This is however, a good start to the conversation. Human Composting Interview with Black Dirt Farm By Anne-Marie Keppel of Corpus Compost, Stardust Meadow & Village Deathcare Do you feel like most people in Vermont are familiar with composting enough to not completely flinch at the idea of human composting?

When Does Death Nesting Become Necessary?

©Anne-Marie keppel When Does Death Nesting Become Necessary? When we arrive alive here on earth, we are guaranteed only one thing: we will die. We may not be loved, cared for, or fed, but we will one day die. We may be  very  well loved, abundantly nourished, supremely cared for, and yet we will die. Why not then, befriend death as it is our very closest mortal companion. Death Nesting is how you live your life. It is the attention you pay to your breath, your walk, how you experience taste, whether or not you take offense to someone forgetting your name or how you react when being cut off in traffic. It’s the challenges you accept and the allowances you give to yourself and others in times of stress or grieving or when your children are driving you bonkers. Death Nesting is fully and deeply living your life  because of death . Death Nesting is what you do to prepare for your time of death — whether it is sudden or prolonged, your death will impact your community and those

Death's Invisible Cloak

Image
Death can be a cloak of hard and heavy lead. It can accumulate the Big Deaths, and become the pain you trudge with,  weighing on your spine, crumpling your legs and twisting your ankles- and the hardest part is that it is invisible Death can be a cloak of quills- the Little Deaths. It can poke and prickle and make thousands of tiny piercing wounds over your whole body- and the hardest part is the invisibility Death can feel like a cloak of the sweetest baby’s breath nestled into your neck with tiny dreaming eyelids fluttering and you just want to hold it close  and never move in fear that you will remember the impermanence The Cloak of Death can look like a dare devil. It can look haughty, indifferent, miserable, miserly, aggressive, criminal… it can look like rigor mortis in the form of an over-priced garment or a car that the owner cannot afford Death’s cloak can smell like decaying hopes, untilled fertile fields and like too many out- breaths trapped in a stagnant
