I understand him. Death is the prime motivator for me to write, to make my contribution, little as it is, to this world. Death is in each word, for I know my words are all of me that will remain. And hopefully, like in Cloud Atlas, some one(s) will somewhere in some time(s) read them and it will have some impact. Death's immanence drives the obvious urjency with which I write so prodigiously if not so eloquently or penetratingly.

A documentary about Stephen Jenkinson, a Canadian expert on grief, death & dying. He seems to be something of a no-shit white shaman.

"The crucible of making human beings is death. Every culture worth a damn knows that. It's not success, it's not growth, it's not happiness. It's death. That's the cradle of your love of life. The fact that it ends." - Stephen Jenkinson
