Do you see the old woman
or the young maiden?

Keep looking until you see both,
and how you can't see both
at the same time.

You can only see one at a time,
and know about the other one,
switching back and forth eternally.

Life is that way.

We look and see one thing.

We look again and see another thing.

Death is where we see all things as one thing.
We wake up in death
and see how wrong we were.
And where we were right.
And why in the hell 
did we have to kill those people
we thought were wrong?

All the wars and the genocides
are wrong killing right
in the name of right killing wrong.

We think the Wailing Wall on this side of death
is something.
Wait until you see the Wailing Wall
on the dead side of death!
All those people Wailing through forever
because they were wrong, wrong, wrong.

Actually, it won't be that way.
It will be more like,
"Oops. We were wrong about that one.
Oh, well."
As we make the shift over
into being right finally, at last, forever.

What would eternal punishment achieve?
That's the stupidest idea in the encyclopedia
of ideas.

And, if I'm wrong, I'm wrong, never mind.

There is only waking up and knowing 
what's what.
And living as though it is.

Death is where we all wake up.
Consciousness is coming for us all.
Woke is going to get us in the end!
I can't wait for the Laughing, I Told You So Wall! 

Death is where we all wake up,
get it right finally at last,
and live laughing together through eternity.

I may be wrong about that,
but it is a fine idea.
It will be such a shame 
if it is wrong.
Oh, well then.
I'll just regret it forever.
