Evening, fellas! Are you doing well?

It was another well-spent day for me, as I saw that the series of cremation ceremony in the village I come from wrapped up nicely.

Although we were doing the ceremony for our loved ones who have left us, I saw a lot of smiling faces.

We as Balinese believe that by departing, our loved ones become our protector and will watch over us. So they didn’t really leave.

In regards to this day, I would like to share some popular quotes on death. #EngQuote
