Death and Mortality

I write many haiku quintets about death, a matter of personal interest as my own expiration date nears. Substantial portions of my memoir A Life Mostly Lived and of Haiku Quintets are devoted to the subject. You may find Life Is Not Good, a secular ethical philosophy, of particular pertinence in a paradigm-shattering way. Browse my publicly viewable current and growing body of haiku quintets for a sense of my worldview, including mortality.

Directly due to health issues, or indirectly as an impending conclusion of one's career, thoughts about death may play a role in your present-day decision-making. I am quite comfortable talking about death and end-of-life choice, even in starkly personal terms.

Selected haiku:
My Sell-by Date — death's door of choice
My Deathbed — if my life ends as I hope
Glidepath — view from my window seat
A Decision Deferred — there's no rush
My Obituary — an early draft
