Location: South Africa
About Fustbariclation:
I am fortunate to have experienced the death of only a few people, my brother, my mother, my father, and my aunts - all , apart from my brother, expected, and, mainly, welcomed deaths.
I am unbelievably fortunate to have had such a rich and full life, that I've been prepared to leave it, any day, for the past quarter of a century. I had had more than my 'fair share' of happiness, love, experience, and delight, in 1990, and, since then, there have been ridiculous amounts more.
What brings you to Death Cafe?
Love of life, discussion, friendship, and honesty.
What would you like your legacy to be?
If anything, things people find useful.
Thoughts for sharing:
Spring flows life to love’s
warm-season-flow. Death, to love’s, cold, deep-winter-flow.

Running to oblivion, the wonderful race, of life.
'Thus that which is the most awful of evils, death, is nothing to us, since when we exist there is no death, and when there is death we do not exist.' Epicurus
The ritual start to drawing, the Ensō, often leads me on to other thoughts.

I have just returned from my first Death café, at 'The Dining Room' in Woodstock in Cape Town.
There were twelve of us, with Sean O'Connor as convener. Sean did a first rate job of making everybody feel welcome and at home, and he managed the flow of the evening with a light touch.
It was, at times, very moving, to hear of the experiences others had had with death, as well as comforting to feel so much in the same boat - as, of course, we all are.
The time went very quickly indeed, which is always a good sign, and the cake was extremely good.
