From “The Human Condition: A
User’s Manual,” by Arnold Kunst

December
In the end, when the bloom of youth has faded, when your
cheeks and ear-lobes and belly are sagging, when your thighs have turned to
cottage cheese and you’re having trouble remembering what day of the week it
is, stay cool like you always have, and trust the process. Your work is coming
to an end here - you will have left behind a host of people capable of meeting
their distinctive challenges because they paid close attention as you met
yours. And when it’s time to die, just leave your body where it happens to be
at that moment - and move on to The Next Thing.
