Single Thought #7

When I think about all the things about myself that have changed, I think the most significant is that I no longer fantasize about living forever. I don't want or need eternity. Let me have 80 years, and let them be filled with family and friendship. Let me have just one blink of the eye; a cosmic wink with a smirk and I'll be satisfied.

  2. I guess I've become more fatalistic. But it just doesn't seem as scary as it once did.

  3. Life is pleasant, death is peaceful. It's the transition that's troublesome.
