It’s only fairly recently that death has become a taboo in the UK. Having become more remote and clinical, has made it appear an unnatural part of the life cycle, when infract it is as much part of it as creation. As you say (and I experience almost daily), the simple yet beautiful things in life are sometimes heightened to an intoxicating level of beauty - a self nourishment that often you only experience at the cost of loosing someone very close. Best wishes, Richard. Chris; that’s lovely.
