How I want to say goodbye to the world!!! Translated…
As I’d thumbed across this topic, I felt shocked, how did this question get asked so perfectly. I’d gone through half of my life, came with the wind, gone with the waves, when the time comes, I only wanted two words to accompany me: serenity, and peace.
From having all of my loved ones by my side, to the moment I’d, swallowed down my final breath. I’d become, separated from the earthly, I’m already, ascended. And, all of the arrangements after I’m gone, I’ll leave it to the funeral homes, and my family shall host a farewell tea party in my honor. What I’d wanted was not the usual, bowing, with the smoke from the incenses rising in the atmosphere, with that sorrowful music sounding off, but instead, have a musical tea party.
Back when I was a young child, I’d feared most seeing the coffins, and seeing those dimly lit up candles in the shrines. And so, I wouldn’t want my funeral to scare anybody else. Fear came from ignorance, and, ignorance came from the fears of talking about death. I know where I’m going, that everything from here on out, will be reduced, to naught, to the emptiness. The wind that traveled for thousands of kilometers, and I’m, gone.
The tea party shall be hosted close by to the funeral home, the kids shall rent a space of about fifty in occupancy. Prepare the teas and the cakes, to those who’d come to my funeral, the friends, the loved ones. With my favorite jazz music playing low, and seeing how this would be my very last ride, naturally, I’d wanted my favorite kind of music playing on, for me, and for the rest of my loved ones too. My old friends probably will show up with alcohol to say goodbye. They shall be allowed, to drink the whole bottle, even if they failed to say a single word, to express the sorrows, I shall carry, NO regrets. And, I am blessed upon, in the aromatic teas, and the scented wines.
I’d estimate that the tea party will last about two hours, the kids say goodbye to my loved ones, my relatives, my families, as well as my good friends, by this time, my cremation should be completed, and the kids shall head over to the crematorium, to get what’s left of my ashes.
Wouldn’t you say that that is, perfect!
And so, this person, he doesn’t want all those tears, all those wailing at his funeral, instead, he’d wanted everybody he knew, to keep him in their minds, that is why he’d wanted to have a tea party reception of sorts instead of the traditional Chinese funeral, because his life is done, and, there’s no need for anybody to feel sad about this man’s passing, because it’s all, a process of life, naturally…
