Interesting insight. Similar to your point, I think that one main thing that can help is our mindset and our perspective on life. Despite death's omnipresence, we can choose to adopt a positive, take-charge type of mindset to strive towards making our lives have meaning and worthwhile.

This is what can truly lead to generally long-lasting happiness and contentment in our lives.

Thanks Raveen for the restack. You’re quite right. In the face of our limited time and an indifferent universe there’s no choice except to create our own meaning. Not easy but that’s the call to us all. I appreciate your careful reading of my words. 🙏

You're welcome!

Yeah, adopting such a mindset is indeed a challenge and needs to be consistently worked on and practiced, especially for those who're older and previously haven't practiced that mindset.

Perfect quote. Stunning poem. I love that it can have many interpretations. I thought you were saying Goodbye to a mother but you then described seasons-- Mother Nature.
