Entertaining Death

He decided this might be a reasonable time to die.  He was without debts, had no outstanding disputes with anyone, and even had friends who could be sad without having to be overly distressed.  It was a good thought and for a time it entertained him.  It was hard to decide how he would be welcomed into whatever was next, but he had a fair sense of who would be there to receive him.  This thought returned for awhile and then it stopped.  Life was again as reasonable a pursuit.
