Sucker Punched
So there I was, doing the slow crawl down route 93s this morning, thinking about this slightly disturbing dream I had last night. In the dream, I was living my life for the second time, but was aware of how events had unfolded the first time through. This time though, things weren't going as well; I wasn't quite at the right place at the right time, so events didn't end up happening; I didn't end up meeting people I was supposed to meet and things just spiraled down out of control (psych majors can now feel free to go nuts on my ass).
So, this got me thinking about the nature of existence and what happens when we die; and then it hit me like a spike to my brain stem (not James Marsters mind you): This is REALLY going to happen TO ME someday. It's not just some intellectual abstract that may or may not be proven; I WILL KNOW..one way or another what the real deal is. You may be saying "well duh! Did you think you were Duncan McLeod or something?" (you know, like immortal). Of course intellectually I know we all die sooner or later, but it never really hit me emotionally like this before.
I remain stunned and pensive........
