double death

Katie Greenwood found out the pidjin word for death- "dae" is the same as the pidjin word for love - only multiplied by 2- "daedae"..and is frankly, unsurprised.


So I happened across this on my facebook updates...and it really struck me. Today I am thinking about the death of love. Today I am thinking about the power of love, a power akin to the power of death. Today I am thinking about the death of the past.

When love dies it feels like a death. There is grief for the loss of the loved one in your life, there is grief for the loss of the dream of the future, there is grief for the loss of all the things associated with the loved one - those things that actually existed and those which had the potential to exist.

to love is to die die
