“Trump vows to decimate Iran over assassination plot”:
1. Trump is afraid of death.
2. The deep-seated thinking that it’s okay for one person or group to kill another person or group, but not the other way around; that one person or group were “better” than the other (cf. supremacy and all the major -isms).

And the air pours in with piano notes
In its skirts, as though to say, “Look, John,
I’ve brought these and these”—that is,
A few Beethovens, some, Brahmses,
A few choice Poulenc notes. . .#WeatherStormASongOrPoem #HashtagGames

Jim came to Master Annie with a problem.
"Master Annie. I am afraid of death."
"I see. Is there anything you can do to prevent your own death?"
"No. All things that come into existence must, eventually, disappear."
"Well said. Your death cannot be avoided."
"True, but what shall I do about my anxiety?"
"Continue your practice. As you continue your practice, you will make peace with your own death. You won't be able to prevent it. However, your mind being free from the fear of death, you will be better able to help everyone."
"Thank you."
Commentary:
Death comes to us all. Anxiety regarding it is not useful. Free yourself, and thus you will be able to free others.

I reviewed the books The Denial of Death, and Escape From Evil, both by Ernest Becker. I think, taken together, Denial of Death & Escape From Evil are the most important books I have read in the last 10 years.

I am still afraid of dying, but I want to be open to the idea, as this quote suggests, that it is "just a change".

Probably the best introduction to the practical side of combating death anxiety I know of. Doesn't mean it's easy though! I find the idea of "remembering death" really challenging.

Huh. What happened in 2020? I want to speculate that the pandemic made people feel grateful to be alive & to have the health that they had.

Dame Deborah James talking about when she moved into end-of-life hospice care at home:
"I am not brave - I am not dignified going towards my death - I am simply a scared girl who is doing something she has no choice in but I know I am grateful for the life that I have had."
— Dame Deborah James 1982-2022

Ned Rorem died Friday morning at his Manhattan home. “Why do I write music? Because I want to hear it. It's simple as that.”
I learned of his passing when I noticed people sharing the video I made for @meganmariehart singing his art song "Fear of Death." What a strange, strange world we live in.

Just learned Ned Rorem died two days ago. He will always be remembered as one of America’s greatest art song composers.
