But grief still has to be worked through. It is like walking through water. Sometimes there are little waves lapping about my feet. Sometimes there is an enormous breaker that knocks me down. Sometimes there is a sudden and fierce squall. But I know that many waters cannot quench love, neither can the floods drown it.

Madeleine L'Engle

Death is but a door, time is but a window. I'll be back.

Most of us are convinced that we are our egos, which is who we think we are. The ego is part of our incarnation. It dies with the body, which is why we are so afraid of death. Death scares the hell out of who you think you are, especially if you think you are this body.

The fear of death follows from the fear of life. A man who lives fully is prepared to die at any time.

Life is pleasant. Death is peaceful. It's the transition that's troublesome.
