“Death brings us closer together, definitely.
It makes heroes of us all, whether we

We always get pulled into our role. I’m truly at ease
with the way I am. There are lots of amendments
I’d like to make. I’d like to change the menu a bit.

see the many foibles I have but if I react to one, I
get into another. What I’m doing now is working
on a book that I have no intention of selling. I
have no interest in financial gain or anything
like that. I don’t care if any publisher likes it. It’s
very organic. It’s about anything and everything.
I call the book, “Boil and Bubble” because I’ve
been ‘ boiling away’ and very angry half my
life; and now I ‘bubble’ and stuff just comes up.

I see a transparency to things, especially in
crowds. We’re all bubbling away. I feel a
sense of unity, and that’s what I’m looking for
more and more. And that makes death quite
acceptable. It’s just simply a physical body
moving on, things changing. The hardship is
that I, as a personality, have formed attachments
to certain things. If I’m not attached, then
everything is acceptable.
