Mortality

This is a painting called "The Three Ages of Man and Death."  It shows a child, a woman, an old woman, and death, who comes visiting with the hourglass.  I have a copy of this picture on the wall of my writing studio.  It keeps me close to the idea of our mortality, a theme I have been writing about a great deal lately.  Do you think about your own mortality?  What feelings do you associate with it?
