Epitaphs from the Land of the Rising Sun

Epitaphs from the Land of the Rising Sun Short Exercises in Dying Well Shizuoka, Japan. April 2014

Teatro de los Sentidos took us on a unique journey, a celebration for all our senses.

We let them carry us away in a ritual feast and drank with them to life, and to death.

During the performance we wrote down our last words, the words we want to be remembered by.

A series of farewells.

It was an incredibly sunny day.

I wanted to go to the sea.

Goodbye.

Take care

I’ve been happy. More or less.

Many blessings.

Smiles of satisfaction.

Back to the light for the day alter.

The absolute nothingness of being.

Full-stop.

To live the next life. Dying.

The word end is written.

A house, from which one sees the sea.

The pain disappeared.

Me, you,, do we live without regrets?

I just wrote the instructions for living to the fullest. It has been fun.

There are things that I could not finish, but everything I've done, I did it with strength and joy. I hope those who remain are happy as well.

Much love.

A life with many experiences.

I have also flown in the sky with a broom, which was actually my biggest dream.

We are sleeping.
