Has anyone faced death here?
I suppose we all think about it. It is a forbidden subject usually, too
morbid for serious discussion. I realize that when younger, even when I
thought I was "brave" and so secure enough to speak of it, I was really
speaking from a very safe distance.
Death. What will it be like? How difficult will it be getting there? As
my own usefulness wanes and the tooth grows long in the wind, I am a bit
surprised we don't use our intelligence to provide a more humane exit from
this world? We can all talk about it, but how many have viewed it's face
up close and personal; felt it's icy fingers...no...it's blackness..no
again, it's 'nothingness' seep into your brain and chest? What keeps that
heart beating and why do we hold onto it's energy as vital to what we are?
That force upon that beating heart...that's the key to unravel.

re: thinking about dying
If you've ever had a bad case of flu, then that's how I felt once or
twice in my life.
I got sand rubbed in my face on the ocean floor when a wave got me on
the Florida coast.
A sob put a towel strangle hold around my neck in high school.
When an acquaintance, friend, relative and parent die.
As I no longer feel young, I face death while quickly ageing .
When worrying about ultimate lose-lose warfare or deadly viruses &
other unknown antidote diseases.
When driving and doing something reallly dumb, or another car scares
the s outa me.
An hodge podge philosophy of death:
I'd rather go quickly than suffer & also burden my family.
I don't really believe in an afterlife; but wouldn't that be sumthin.
I don't fear a devil, as I suppose many of ye were so religiously
indoctrinated.
See ya on Planet CONTACT a la Jodie Foster and her father played by
the actor David Morse
