I am sorry if this is a bit unsettling...

But I have had several visions over the course of my lifetime which lead me to believe I am on my last year on the mortal coil.  The number 32 for some reason is emblazoned in my cranium as the year....and to be honest, I have grown to peace with it.

In a lot of ways, seeing this year as the last year of your life, you let go of a lot of things that you have held onto your entire life...you realize it is just dead weight...

You learn to enjoy the little things again.  And in a lot of ways I imagine you see the world like a new born.  Everything is magical and full of meaning.  You learn to realize that everything is transient, and you start to appreciate the world in a way that you have always wanted to but never had the time for.

I may or may not be correct about the whole 32 thing.  It has always been on my mind.  And now it is nigh, and I feel like every day is a race to put as much as I can into whatever it is I have to write.  When you are on the precipice of your own mortality, you have the opportunity to create a lasting body of work.  Which is why I continue writing fiction.  It is something that I want to give that I may never live to see come into some degree of acceptance or success.  Which is fine.

This world is but one of many.

And I am ready for whatever real
