Half Alive, Half Already Dead

Am I, after all, alive, or in the midst of dying? Dead, or awaiting rebirth?

Francis Du · Half Alive

Birds over water or against the sky
Birds over water or against the sky
Birds over water or against the sky
Birds over water or against the sky
Birds over water or against the sky
An animal among trees
A cat approaching the legs of a person wearing sandals
A cat lifting its head to touch an outstretched finger beside a person's legs
Two donkeys mating among trees.
Horses on a grassy ridge beneath the sky
Open flowers
Sunflowers with bent heads
In all things I recognise myself, and in all things I lose myself. Here, life and death borrow the same body for their embrace.

Formlessness: to be amid forms without clinging to them.
