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.

It's odd, my relationship with death fell apart somewhere along the line, about when I realized I was no longer convinced I would die at/about 36 years of age. Now I have a curiousity about death in other species that seems..offputting to others. I mean, I have to hide my hope of seeing something ...meaningful? at least to me, when helping euthanize animals. After the moment of death, my focus on service, helping the survivors tends to snap back, which is why I haven't started avoiding those work situations.

Beyond that I just ignore it really. It'll happen, I'm not hiding, it's part of the life cycle, but it's just not relevant to me right now so ...it's like a gap in my thoughts when it comes up.
