Remember You Will Die Palm Tree 80s Retro Synthwave Style | Memento Mori | Nostalgic Orthodox Christian Blue Denim JacketA true sign of those who are mindful of death in the depth of their being is a voluntary detachment from every creature and complete renunciation of their own will. + St. John Climacus, The Ladder of Divine Ascent, Step 6: On the Remembrance of Death

If the flesh is death

or the homeless person in front of me

Because the Lord was conversing with a rich man

he signifies a delivery from sin

You wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe

No matter how heavy a cross a man may carry in life

unceasingly adding fear to fear

Who shed His blood in order to redeem our soul from its enemy

Does it strike no terror into you

I thank Thee

and for a helmet the hope of salvation

with what shall he be salted
