As if in a dance step
If you have agreed to perish in a burning house, would you have fear of houses or flames licking your feet?
No, for the fear of death is never of the exact way you will die, but of the unknown.
If you could but know your ending, it would come too soon. For you would seek it out, if only through fear of the unknown. For this reason no one is told of the precise circumstances.
Sailing through the thunder and lightening of daily events, yes, you wonder about the timing of your return. In the aftermath of these storms, you find yourself washed up on the shore, waiting for your very next passage - booked and waiting for the vessel to arrive. It does not take long once in flesh to gather the wits to know you would have been better of never arriving at all.
But if one was to understand beyond the grave what death would befall them, and pleasure could be derived from that knowledge, then it would indeed be a simple acknowledgment of time bringing the moment, as if in a dance step, perfectly executed.
