Thanks for sharing the Trek passage! I haven’t watched Star Trek, so I’m unfamiliar with the passage, but it’s powerful and elegant. For me, personally, I find it humbling. That I will probably be surprised because I can’t imagine in advance what - for example - drawing my last breath will feel like, physically, emotionally, etc. I think I’m pretty at ease with my mortality relative to others; I take a bit of pride in it bizarrely enough, hence the humility.
I admire Tibetan culture, where they go to somewhat comical lengths to make peace with dying, such as lying in graves with human skeletons.
It’s really neat that you’re integrating your deep personal inquiries into 2-sentence horror. I’ve let a creative outlet I once had go rusty (mixed metaphor lol). You’re inspiring me to get back into it :)!
