Children of Light






In death we are most pure. This is because are sins are acknowledge before God. All out sins are laid out before us, and then wiped clean because we have asked for forgiveness. The Children of Light strive for absolute purity but since they are immortal can this absolute purity truly be achieved?

Today I was surrounded by the purity of death in which I saw the beauty and tragedy of life, and the consequence of death.

The cemetery that I visit was a city of white.

The graves were of pure white marble and stone, the architecture reflected the guardianship of angles and God watching over the dead.











This gave a sense of peace and comforting togetherness, both for the ones who had past and those who live on. The graves were so beautiful and majestic it would seem that through the beauty and purity they have obtained immortality like the Children of Light.
