So I should confront it.
"I am not eternal
The suchness that is me, derived from my upbringing, my parents, my collection of experiences, confined to this time and place, this ego longing for forever…will be destroyed.
My overwhelming sense of primate-self will expire.
Parts of my essence, my chemistry, will carry on,
But I am not eternal.
I am a temporary, brief expression of the moment exploding.
I am an emotional moment longing for forever, in a beautiful world of the temporary.
I may leave behind a whisper of a memory; I may leave behind a collection for the living,
But they too shall explode into the great unknown darkness.
And it is in this beautiful moment that I live…brief, amazing…"
