Death

I read this the other day in the novel Moon Over Manifest by Claire Vanderpool that "Death is like an explosion... it makes people take notice of things they might have overlooked."
It always brings us quickly back to reality.

  2. It must be other people's death - I have never experienced my own, though very close escapes a couple of times.

  5. I take it this applies to others deaths. You have some nice brickwork round your way.

  8. Yes, but the clarity of that view can be so brief.
