45. We all are going to die

Fri Mar 13, 2020, 03:54 PM

Mar 2020

Absolute fact, everyone dies.

At 74 years I am delighted to see (the unsee-able) 'that' which may bring about my death.
What will be, is. I will know it then, whenever, wherever, however. I do chose to not fear now, the then.
And I continue practicing fearlessness 'till the day making it replaces faking it.

I do so wish my boomer-brothers would let go and leave to youth the task of trying to control the total.
A totally impossible task, but we all muddle through trying to do our best.
