<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I\u2019ve lived 80 years of life, have lived in many places,
\nmany states and Europe and the Philippines.<\/p>\n
I\u2019ve had a reasonably full life with many adventures
\nand have no need for more earthly adventures.<\/p>\n
I see death as the greatest adventure ever.<\/p>\n
I see death as a shedding of earthly cares and
\na temporary body with it\u2019s vulnerabilities to
\naging, disabilities and diseases that one is
\nrid of when newly born young and fresh
\nin the afterlife.<\/p>\n
And I am in a position with no attachments,
\nso I can easily let go when death comes.<\/p>\n
If I had a girlfriend or a wife, my heart would
\nbreak at even the thought of leaving her.
\nI would not want to let go unless we could
\ngo together. <\/p>\n
I\u2019d fight to stay alive with every iota of my
\nbeing to stay with her and not leave her
\nbehind while I ascended into what I see as
\na greater, wonderous world.<\/p>\n
But because I\u2019m so accepting of dying,
\nand because I feel so incredibly good,
\nstill working out, exercising daily,
\nas if I were nearly indestructible,
\nI\u2019ll probably be here for many more years,
\nmore than I want to be.<\/p>\n
And as you can never say never, maybe
\none day I\u2019ll be blissfully anchored
\nto this world with a girlfriend or a wife
\nand unable to let go when death comes.<\/p>\n
Or maybe like sometimes happens,
\nwe\u2019d go out together or each would
\ndie within days of the other.<\/p>\n
In the meantime, come Death
\ntake me home to what I believe
\nis my true home.<\/p>\n
And though I\u2019m not a fundamentalist
\nChristian but a devout believer in Christ
\nin a non-churched mystical fashion,
\nmaybe Jesus will meet me at the doorway
\nto death and take me to paradise.<\/p>\n
Or maybe I\u2019ll merge with the cosmos,
\nbecome post life enlightened and live
\nforever in the eternal bliss consciousness.<\/p>\n
Whatever the outcome, I look forward to dying
\nthough not in a suicidal sense.<\/p>\n
