I don't want to die,
Because I dream of playing in the sand of the Oregon Coast,
With my great-grandchildren.
Tossing in the surf,
Flying kites in the sky.
Warming ourselves by a star studded fire.
It's a greedy dream,
I know.
But I want to teach as many generations as possible
That earth, wind, water, fire, are His simplest gifts,
Our greatest pleasure.

מַה-בֶּצַע בְּדָמִי, בְּרִדְתִּי אֶל-שָׁחַת: הֲיוֹדְךָ עָפָר; הֲיַגִּיד אֲמִתֶּךָ (תהילים ל:י)
What benefit is there in my blood going to the pit? Do those in the dust tell your truths (Psalms 30:10)
We shouldn't fear our death, we should educate our children.
