turning 20...i had a rather large freak out about this. between 1/5 to 1/4 of my life was over. at best. yikes.
i don't think about it much these days. i've made a pretty good run of it so far, and people would show up at my funeral.
theologically...i'm less concerned with death as an abstract fear. i don't fear my eventual departure from this planet in that way. i don't have time. there's enough death going on here to be concerned about. i think of all the people who live death filled lives, chained by poverty, homelessness, addiction, broken relationships...
death doesn't wait for the end of a person's life.
