10 June 2021

 

     I had gone out running five miles a couple days ago.  Then jumped on the softball diamond. Finished up a chapter in The Self-Portrait, and was working on some artwork.  I realized how happy I was and wondered if I actually fully comprehend the finality of death.

     I know it is coming.  I know it is coming soon.  And I have no beliefs in afterlives.  Death is the end, and I am really enjoying living. 

     How can I be happy and not fretting about what I expect will come in only a few months?  Do I not fully comprehend death?

     This puzzles the hell out of me.

     I was able to get in a slow five mile run on a very hot morning, then call the parents.  The latter is always a real pick-me-up.  Great to talk to them.
