Do not mourn me, friends I fall as a shooting star Into the next life

Dress your feet which will fit to your outfit.

I would rather have bowel surgery in the woods with a stick. If you are not stung or pronged to death in some unexpected manner, you may be fatally chomped by sharks or crocodiles, or carried helplessly out to sea by irresistible currents, or left to stagger to an unhappy death in the baking outback.

It occurs to me that we allow ourselves to imagine only such messages as we need to survive.

Written By Joan Didion
