  3. “Black and White: In Memory of Hayden Potter” by John RC Potter

    family photo

    My favorite photo of you,
    now and before you left us,
    is the one of you standing
    in a doorway, leaning casually;
    A black-and-white photo
    of a handsome young man
    with his life ahead of him.
    But that was taken from you
    before your time.
    Or was it your time?
    For the rest of my life,
    you will forever be standing in
    that distant doorway:
    Waiting for something, or someone.

    First, you lost your mother, far too young.
    Then you were given up for dead
    after a horrible car accident;
    But you climbed and clawed your
    way back into the world, toward
    the flickering light.
    Your life was never the same, but
    you never complained.

    A survivor, and yet, for too few years.
    Those years flashed by in a blink of an eye.
    Only a quarter of a century
    you were given, then
    you were taken in your sleep,
    like your mother before you.

    Our world is not black and white.

    The years ahead will be long and wide
    whilst you are close by on the other side
    of the vast unknown and the great divide.

  4. A quotation from Homer

                                   Poor child, most tried of men,
    Persephone, daughter of Zeus, is not deceiving you in any way;
    this is the law that rules all mortals at their death.
    For just as soon as life has left the white bones,
    and the sinew no longer hold together bones and flesh,
    when the erupting force of blazing fire undoes the body,
    then the spirit wanders: much like a dream,
    it flits away and hovers, now here, now there.
     
    [‘ὤ μοι, τέκνον ἐμόν, περὶ πάντων κάμμορε φωτῶν,
    οὔ τί σε Περσεφόνεια Διὸς θυγάτηρ ἀπαφίσκει,
    ἀλλ᾽ αὕτη δίκη ἐστὶ βροτῶν, ὅτε τίς κε θάνῃσιν:
    οὐ γὰρ ἔτι σάρκας τε καὶ ὀστέα ἶνες ἔχουσιν,
    ἀλλὰ τὰ μέν τε πυρὸς κρατερὸν μένος αἰθομένοιο
    δαμνᾷ, ἐπεί κε πρῶτα λίπῃ λεύκ᾽ ὀστέα θυμός,
    ψυχὴ δ᾽ ἠύτ᾽ ὄνειρος ἀποπταμένη πεπότηται.]

    Homer (fl. 7th-8th C. BC) Greek author
    The Odyssey [Ὀδύσσεια], Book 11, l. 216ff (11.216) (c. 700 BC) [tr. Mandelbaum (1990)]

  15. Gizmodo: This AI Can Estimate How Long You’ve Been Dead. How It Works Is the Weird Part. “In a study published Monday in Nature Communications, researchers developed an AI system that uses microbes on cadavers to estimate their postmortem intervals (PMI), or time since death. The system, called mHolmes, was trained on public data from 34 human cadavers. While further work is needed, it could […]

  18. The uncomfortable moments of aging: 👴 🧓 👵
    When increasingly it happens people younger than yourself die, adding to the numbers of those older folk we knew who have left this earth.

    Each passing year the count goes up, more often we are reminded of our own mortality, and the need to prepare one's mind for the one eventually.

  26. The heavily haunted Ostrich Inn in Colnbrook, Berkshire, has an especially grisly history. Legend states that, in the 1600s, one landlord and his wife would show any wealthy-looking traveller to the hostelry's Blue Room. This room had a bed bolted onto a trap door that - when the customer was sound asleep - the landlord would release. The guest would drop into the kitchen below, where they'd plunge into a vat of boiling water or ale. The bodies would be disposed of in the nearby River Coln. The pub owners were eventually caught when the stray horse of a murdered guest was traced back to the inn. Though remodelled over the years, the Ostrich is said to date back to 1106 and to be one of England's oldest pubs. The landlord's escapades are said to have inspired the story of Sweeney Todd. #pubs #pub #history #folklore #weird #halloween #crime #death #gothic
