Crasses et Voluptés

Christ with Death

Michael Wolgemut Germany 1491

The central fact of my own life is my death. After a while it will all come to nothing. Whenever I have the courage to face this, my priorities become clear. At such times nothing is done in order to achieve something else. No energy is wasted in maintaining the illusions. My image does not matter. I do not worry about how I am doing. I do what I do, am what I am. That’s it. The imminence of my own death is the point around which things turn.
