The Best I Can

This is not just a contemplation of the 27 Club. But of all the famous musicians, actors and celebrities who have died tragically young.

Gone Too Soon

Memento mori is a Latin phrase meaning 'remember you must die'.

Brandon Lee, quoting the book 'The Sheltering Sky by Paul Bowles.
"Because we do not know when we will die, we get to think of life as an inexhaustible well. Yet everything happens a certain number of times, and a very small number, really. How many more times will you remember a certain afternoon of your childhood, an afternoon that's so deeply a part of your being that you can't even conceive of your life without it? Perhaps four or five times more. Perhaps not even that. How many more times will you watch the full moon rise? Perhaps twenty. And yet it all seems limitless."

This is my reaction to the tragedy that happened in Northumberland when the 300 year old sycamore was vandalized and intentionally felled. But the feelings are deeper than that. The tree is symbolic of so many terrible things going on in the World.

Herbert Fingarette died in 2018.

He argued that fearing one’s own demise was irrational. "When you die," he wrote, “there is nothing.” Why should we fear the absence of being, when we won’t be there ourselves to suffer it?
