The Come Down from LSD

We went around to see Darwin’s great grandad again this weekend at her uncles.  We again had a lovely barbecue (despite it setting on fire and causing some people to take cover), we sat in the summer breeze and we enjoyed life.

There is no secret that the increased amount of visits to see his great grandad is a result of concern for his impending death.  Obviously there is sadness running below the surface of the family but in my opinion they needn't be sad.  There is only 1 priority in life and that is to be happy.  All material objects, money, ideas, inventions and world records get left behind.  Those things that can, get passed on to people who will also inevitably die, the other stuff gets bettered by others or forgotten.  We are transient on this earth, all of us.  And therefore once again it’s important to enjoy the ride.

I think the least concerned person about Jim is Jim.  He’s aware of the inevitable but he’s enjoying his time.  The very fact that he’s spending his last days surrounded by people who love him is a great relief to him and you can tell this in the way he is.  Yesterday he was continuously joking and making fun of people.  Playing air piano to the stereo, singing opera, pulling faces at Darwin, doing tricks (I say tricks!) with his false teeth & repeating what people said in a comedy voice.  Death shouldn't be mourned really, but inevitably it is because it’s misunderstood by  human emotions.  Death is the come down from LSD, the last day of a brilliant holiday or the orgasm in sex.  No one should be thinking, “God, I wish I didn't go on that holiday, it was absolutely the best thing ever but now I've got to go home.  I’m never going to book another holiday again”.  I believe there are people who cry after sex too, I hope it’s a chemical imbalance thing rather than a misunderstanding, but it shouldn't be happening.  Light up a fat cigar, eat some chocolate or do it again, never think that was so good I’m never going to do it again.  And that’s how people should see death!  (In that example if you die on holiday whilst having sex under the influence of LSD then you've cracked it!!).

Any road it was a lovely day and Piggy enjoyed himself too.
