Postcard: Death

This graphic image is from an early book, published in London in 1808, called "The Grave - A Poem", and it's so beautifully done.

This image features a young woman's soul leaving her body,

and she does NOT want to leave...

she still clings to the things of the world:

material? creature? both?

We do not know.

Gives us much to contemplate.

We are only one heartbeat away from our death.

Each beat is a gift from our Lord & Creator.

Are we ready to let go to all and surrender all to God?

Do we have God in first place?
