Maybe I am being unduly maudlin, but since my stroke almost a year ago I have thought about death a lot.
There is every chance that I will, given time, make a near full recovery. However, I have been far more aware of our short span and "dust to dust, ashes to ashes". I have no idea if we survive death in some form or other. Maybe death is like before we were born - we know nothing about it. Maybe there is something. I'd like to believe that when I know I am about to die I shall be at peace with the world and with myself. Hopefully this will be many years in the future. It is just that I nearly died a year ago and this colours one's views.
Death is not far from any of us. We normally prefer not to think about it and our finality.
