friends with those skeletons

Alas, what is terrible is not the skeletons,
but the fact that I am no longer terrified by them.
~Anton Chekhov
i have of late been obsessed again with the concept of my mortality. {and flamenco.} are they intrinsically linked? ah well, nothing new, just the inner workings of my mind. perhaps marriage is doing this to me. i find myself thinking ahead fifty years {a thing i am really quite unable to grasp} and then fifty more to my death. well, fifty, plus fifty two and two months {102 total for those counting, which adds to 134.}. in keeping with my intuition {read more here} it seems as though i should have plenty of time of ruminate on such things. plenty of time indeed. perhaps i will even make friends with those skeletons. who knows?

So tonight to shush you how about if I say I have administrative bones to pick with God, Boo. I'll say God seems to have a kind of laid-back management style I'm not crazy about. I'm pretty much anti-death. God looks by all accounts to be pro-death. I'm not seeing how we can get together on this issue, he and I, Boo.
