In the Afternoon Glow

In afternoon glow I ought to take an interest in death but I don´t find it a stimulating subject it has to do with acceptance. This is comforting since I’m not religious but has a strong spiritual streak. I believe in the mystic. What we fail to understand in normal life can be understood by a second sight. I can see the near future based on experience. I believe in the existence of ghost they are people who have not accepted they are dead and are, generally speaking, unhappy. Since the devil does not occur, he doesn’t care about sad ghosts. I have seen my dead dog on several occasions she lives in my mind and appears happy, especially when it rains and I can´t leave the house. Here I manly laugh, look at my wristwatch my god, it is nearly eight o´clock time for a glass of red wine.

The way I see it, death is likely a very immemorable experience. I think it's probably similar to what it was like before I was born, and I don't remember any of that either. Hope you're well Jan. Great work.
