notes hold the power

The person taking notes holds the power
This is ancient, this is natural
The priests ruled by their scriptures
The people want for efficiency to remember
How they solved this knot generations ago
The person making notes says they are true
Just how do we know?

A difficult dying

A difficult dying can be brought on by physical symptoms or attempts to control symptoms. (Maybe they are spiritual work going on that we should not seek to control in the first place.) But also by psychological or spiritual suffering. Attend.
