Death is not an event in life: we do not live to experience death.
If we take eternity to mean not infinite temporal duration but timelessness, then eternal life belongs to those who live in the present.
Our life has no end in just the way in which our visual field has no limits.
-Wittgenstein
presentness exists in the field. our presentness is considered a possesion. narrative, life, presence. to unhand everything, including as the ability to unhand. so difficult. but, what is this presence?

Die Reisen sind Die Reisenden and the Skywall look interesting. The latter somehow reminds me.. Well, when I was in particularly bad shape, I woke up early and really wanted to go on the roof to watch the sunrise. But I couldn't drag myself out of bed. So I spent two hours in my bed just watching the sky in the opposite direction getting lighter and lighter through frosted glass. It was just as beautiful.
I've had a number of thoughts on death recently.. But they've come and gone. Just like everything, eh? If there's one thing I'm good at, it's forgetting. Including what it was like to be dead, that is, before I was born.
Thank you, about the profile picture.. I was feeling.. I don't know, I think I was just listening to the church bells outside. And distracted with trying to figure out the self-timer on the new camera
p.s. sometimes when I'm feeling sad I try to remember something along the lines of this (don't know if you read it).. Maybe it'd help you, too. Take care
