R.W. C Edward Hazelton

February 1st, 1914 - July 8th, 2004

    God saw you getting tired

And a cure was not b be,

So he put his am around you

And  Whispered, "come To Me"

With tearful eyes we watched you,

And a saw you pass away

although we loved you dearly,

We could not make  you stay

A golden heart stopped beating,

Hard working hands at rest

God broke  our hearts to prove to

us, He only takes the best.

 

Our fear of death is like our fear that summer will be short, but when we have had our swing of pleasure, our fill of fruit, and our swelter of heat we say we have had our day
--Ralph Waldo Emerson

We start, then, with nothing, pure zero. But this is not the nothing of negation. For not means other than, and other is merely a synonym of the ordinal numeral second. As such it implies a first; while the present pure zero is prior to every first. The nothing of negation is the nothing of death, which comes second to, or after, everything. But this pure zero is the nothing of not having been born. There is no individual thing, no compulsion, outward nor inward, no law. It is the germinal nothing, in which the whole universe is involved or foreshadowed. As such, it is absolutely undefined and unlimited possibility -- boundless possibility. There is no compulsion and no law. It is boundless freedom.

 Charles S. Peirce, "Logic of Events" (1898)
