thoughts percolating

[rm]

But, instead of telling you them, I have a poll.

What's your relationship to death/Death (capitalization as you prefer)?
Please share any thoughts you have about gender as connected with that.

Thnx.

Hmm. The only person close to me who has died was my maternal grandmother. She died peacefully at the end of a long illness. I have never really been afraid of death; I'm fairly comfortable with death itself. I grieved greatly for my grandmother, but that was mostly for my loss: the fact that her death meant an end to her suffering was a comfort.

As far as Death, it's hard to say. I don't really personify death - I think of it as kind of an all-consuming empty blackness. However, I rather like Terry Pratchett's Death.
