Anyone else approaching a known death feel w certainty that their “essence”, which is not physical, can not possibly… die?

This unexpected and novel thought presses on me, insisting on its own truth;

and I find

that I find this

plausible … ❤️🕊💕

"Vertical sunset"
An odd leafless tree flanked by its lush companions, with a fall sunset as a background.
#Sunset #Trees #Photography #PhotoHour

Photo showing three tall trees forming vertical lines against a clear sky backdrop, with a colour gradient from blue to orange. The trees are Black Poplars of the "Italica" variety (Lombardy poplars), as demonstrated by their fastigiate (vertical) growth. The tree in the middle has almost no leaves, whereas its neighbours on both sides are flush with them. At the base of the middle tree, distant conifers form a crater-like structure, seeming to surround the tree's trunk through an odd optical effect. Watermark identifying photographer as Geneviève Laurin.

I don't take a lot of pictures of geese but anytime I can get wings over water with a sunrise and fog in the background I will fire away 📷 #BlueSkyPhotography #BlueSkyPhotographer #Birds 🪶 #NatureLovers #Wildlife

Sunset from earlier this week at Ocean Beach Pier in San Diego, California

#sandiego #sdca #oceanbeach #beach #surfing #sunset #obpier #landscapes_lovers #photography

A long pier stretches across the frame at sunset, its dark supports reflected in wet sand. Low clouds form layered ripples across the sky, shifting from deep blue to purple and orange near the horizon. Small waves roll in beneath the pier, and warm light glows along the waterline and reflections.

It’s January and I have a volunteer tomato plant making tomatoes in my garden. Not sure what to think about that. I’m in Southern California so I guess it’s not that weird.

The Brimstone Gulch is not far from Peekaboo and Spooky slot canyons. It is a gorgeous trail. Here is a landscape coming back from there.
