Does it bother you that there are places outside your skin – and you’re not in them? That you come to a sudden end at the top of your skull – and then there’s nothing but air? Of course not. So why should it bother you that there’ll be times when you won’t be around – any more than you care that there are places you don’t occupy? You think your life is going to be undone – canceled out, somehow – just because it has an end? Does the space above your head cancel out your body? Everything has boundaries. Nothing stretches on forever – in any direction.”
