In the series “Memento Mori: Accepting My Mortality”, I explored my thoughts on the irony of my life and eventual death.  At some point in our lives, we all must accept our mortality and recognize that neither our accomplishments nor accolades will prevent the inevitability of death. I know that my life is but a blimp on history’s timeline. Still, there are moments when it brutally confronts me.  I look in the mirror and see that I am just a skull and bones wasting away. Suddenly, I am overwhelmed and scream, “No. I need more time. There is so much I want to do!”  Thinking of life as a game of strategy, I wonder if I can outwit death for a few more days. When everything quiets, I find myself at peace again, but determined to enjoy every moment until the last.  In the end, I will take nothing with me and all that was accomplished or collected in my life will remain on this side of time.  Some days I am more accepting of this inevitability than others.
