The River

This one is for a good friend of mine. The song, "The River," by Anathallo is about a woman who gets swept away in a river and actually enjoys the experience moving toward her own end. It appears, after reading this description, that when you are aware of your own mortality and where you are headed, you are at peace and can focus on the moment (what else to do when it's your last one?).

My friend said about his brush with death that he felt something similar - it wasn't pain. He said when he became acutely aware of his imminent death, there was a certain peace that washed over him. Check it out:
