I appreciate your thoughts about death. I think, but of course I can't be sure, that I will feel similarly upon the moment when my time has come. Like many people my age, what I fear about death is the aftermath, should I die alone, of finding me. The stories, if they are true, about cultures whose old or sick remove themselves to a solitary place, to die and return to the elements naturally, has wisdom and merit, in my opinion.
