I have taken to standing on street corners in case I might see an animal fatally dart into the road. It would be so very sad to witness the end of a life. And yet…perhaps it is the only way? How else do we gain true understanding of what it is to live unless we understand what it is to die? This is all religion and philosophy and art, no? The question of what life is—and life is nothing very valuable at all, except that it ends. The lessons we can learn from understanding the moment of transformation from a being that is alive to a thing that is dead…well, surely they are crucial and vast—and worth any undertaking to glean.
