For whom the bell tolls a poem (No man is an island) by John Donne

No man is an island,
Entire of itself.
Each is a piece of the continent,
A part of the main.
If a clod be washed away by the sea,
Europe is the less.
As well as if a promontory were.
As well as if a manner of thine own
Or of thine friend's were.
Each man's death diminishes me,
For I am involved in mankind.
Therefore, send not to know
For whom the bell tolls,
It tolls for thee.

Comment by Slaying Crow O'Hagan on April 13, 2011 at 23:43: That's wonderful, and really good to hear.

I look forward to your postings and what you have to bring to this group.

I think generally as myself being a spiritually in touch human this is really an important topic for all Pagans, not just spiritually but politically as well. I find that so many individuals who also are very dedicated to the Spirit still neglect this subject even though this is such a major component in religion, and spirituality. After all if we are going to delve into the mysteries of our own existence as human beings shouldn't we be interested if not aware of the mortality of our own life span? Just a thought.

At any rate thank you for joining and be sure to invite others who can benefit from and add to this group.

Please excuse the construction but I'll have the important areas of the construction filled out soon.
