Well… when you are wealthy and successful and things are going really well for you.. middle age enters life with an arrow of death flying from a great distance. Now is time for death to reveal its presence. Your soul starts aching and you become restless and sleepless. Then you have to wander to the landscapes unknown and seek for a remedy. You struggle and burn.. then, first it appears as a mysterious woman, she guides you from secluded streets to the scenes of ancient cultures, and later, much later, it’s time for the death to present itself. Death, resembling our loved ones, keeper of time, gentle and graceful, lover of life. Do not fear it, embrace it, as you should life.
