Wednesday Thought: Final Acceptances

I am reminded of this jarring quote about our
existence:

"When it comes time to die, be not like those
whose hearts are filled with the fear of death,
so when their time comes they weep and pray
for a little more time to live their lives over
again in a different way. Sing your death song,
and die like a hero going home. {Shawnee}
--Tecumseh
