When you lived so little you tend to imagine you’re not going to die. But wasting your time concentrating on death is like watching  a comedy  and thinking only about the credits that are going to roll at the end. It’s a mistake of emphasis.  I like entering THAT  magic field called “Eureka”  enjoying the sweet lightness of being when  you are the universe.
