ooooooooh, death
Sir Ben Myers has written a lovely little meditation on death over at Faith and Theology.
As I've been thinking a bit about death myself these past thirty-three years, I thought I'd share a little...
"So it has come to this. I am going to die. I wish I could tell you otherwise. I wish I had something more positive to say. For a long time things were fine. I reassured myself: I will not die. I reassured others, not so much by what I said as by my general demeanour. Don't worry, I always seemed to be telling them, Nothing to be alarmed about, I will not die."
Go, read the rest of it...
