“Incidentally, do you ever think of your own death? For a while now it’s been a daily companion of mine. Why is that? I’m over seventy years old and the thread of life I have left on the reel isn’t long. I’m not going to live another seventy, and I’m starting to consider the fact that I have to leave everything behind. But I take it as something that’s normal. I’m not sad. It makes me want to be fair with everyone always, to sign the final flourish. Mind you, it’s never occurred to me to make a will. But death is in my thoughts every day.” — Sergio Rubín

I’m over seventy years old and the thread of life I have left on the reel isn’t long.
