Settling back to reality

I can't believe how hard it is to settle back into life. I find
myself thinking constantly about how close we are at any moment to
death.

I don't think I am being morbid. Actually, I think this is something
we should always be aware of. I am not fearful of death, but
realising how close death might be tends to sharpen my focus on what
is important in life.

When I think about it, those of us who are living our lives blissfully
ignorant of how short our lives could be are really the ones who are
not living with reality.
