In life, we endure storms of various kinds.
Some of us have been terrified
by tornadoes, hurricanes, fires, and ice storms.
However, these storms are part of our natural world.
If and when we can surrender to something that powerful
(when we are so powerless),
it can almost be comforting.
Death can be like this.
I have often thought
that more people should die in less traditional places.
If you have a care system that can travel with you,
and you have spent all your best days
on the shores of your private beach,
why not set up a bed and die there?
If you have the care and the ability
and have spent the best hours of your life in the forest,
why not die in a bed there?
I would love to be bedside at a forest death.
