Let the deadline of death drive you.
Create until your last breath.
Let your last spark of life go into your work.
Die empty, so death takes only a corpse.*
Derek Sivers
Reality does not provide meaning.
Stories do.**
Robert McKee
Death is our ultimate reality
making sense of everything and all,
Ever present,
Not only when we find ourselves in a scrape–
Death does not tell us what we ought to do,
Only that we may want to find and live fully
the thing we have a hankering for–
How wasteful then
to try to live without Death’s help–
*Derek Sivers’ How To Live;
**Robert McKee‘s newsletter: Why Reality Is Not Enough For Writers.
