     I find death to be very comforting and clear in
its' direct experience of reality.  I really go
through high moments of clarity during funerals and
days after funerals.  Some deaths still are strong
enough that even their memories stir a clarity of life
like no other, one such is my father's.  Still, I find
the need to stay warm and cozy during these autumn
nights and now that it is morning I'd say these
mornings, too.
