Thanks for the bump buddy.

"Just as bread is the most necessary of all foods, so the thought of death is the most essential of all works.

The remembrance of death brings labors and meditations, produces freedom from daily worries and breeds constant prayer and guarding of the mind, virtues that are the cause and the effect of the thought of death.

The man who has died to all things remembers death, but whoever holds some ties with the world will not cease plotting against himself."
