Thank you, Paula, for your thought-provoking exposé. Last night, I was at a sugar bush in Quebec with my family for a fabulous meal of pea soup, eggs, pancakes, sausages, "oreilles de crisse" and maple syrup treats. This insulin-challenging feast was followed by singing, spoon tapping and dancing led by a chansonnier. Thoughts of dying were a km away. This morning, getting up with aches and pains, the End is reminding me how important it is for me to really enjoy those precious moments. I am praying, on this Easter morning, that I will be partying there again next year.

Excellent essay on The End which we all contemplate in our own way. I personally am always shocked at how comfortable I am about dying. But then again, it's not staring me in the face. Thanks for writing this. Janet
