The Pain of the Morning Rain

How will we react when confronted with our own mortality? When faced with the final curtain call... Will life become a manic rush to complete that list of things to do before we die; to see the world and make up for all the time we’ve lost in the living? Or will we pause to reflect on the lives we’ve already led and spend our days in quiet reflection on time well spent? Maybe we’ll simply carry on, stoically ignoring the inevitable. Mocking all around us for proving vulnerable, while we quietly prepare for the next journey. It’s something we can’t dream of ever having to face. Something that stretches beyond the limits of our perception. Our generation is unable to contemplate the prospect of death, for we still possess that greatest of all the gifts of youth: a sense of immortality.

You and I are gonna live forever.
