Do not stand at my grave and weep. Do Not Stand at My Grave and Weep is a poem written in 1932 by Mary Elizabeth Frye.
Although the origin of the poem was disputed until later in her life, Mary Frye's authorship was confirmed in 1998 after research by Abigail Van Buren, a newspaper columnist.[1] Full text[edit] Do not stand at my grave and weep, I am not there; I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow, Allegory of the Cave. Plato realizes that the general run of humankind can think, and speak, etc., without (so far as they acknowledge) any awareness of his realm of Forms.
The allegory of the cave is supposed to explain this. In the allegory, Plato likens people untutored in the Theory of Forms to prisoners chained in a cave, unable to turn their heads.

Theobviouslife. The day I almost shot my father: I was young, angry, and holding a gun. Photograph by Goce Risteski When I was 8 or 9 years old, I almost shot my father.
When I say almost, I mean I loaded two 12-gauge shotgun shells into a side-by-side shotgun, snapped it closed, and walked down the hallway to his study, where he was working. I remember the gray runner that lined the center of the floor, and the wood slats on either side. I remember my feet landing one after the other on the soft pile. I think of this day often—it was one of my closest brushes with life-altering calamity—but especially whenever we’re going through another national shooting tragedy and the endlessly rehashed debates about gun control.
