"Let children walk with Nature, let them see the beautiful blendings and communions of death and life, their joyous inseparable unity, as taught in woods and meadows, plains and mountains and streams of our blessed star, and they will learn that death is stingless indeed, and as beautiful as life." --John Muir

A beautiful tought for a sunday in autumn.
The permanent presence of death in life is best felt (and respectfully admired) these days.
A couple of days ago my yoga teacher and close friend Bri mailed me her mother just breathed her last breath in beauty and serenity. I answered her in the sense of MUIR's quote. And told her (she is 60!) to just become good friends with death...
But, Phyllis, since you understand and go quite deep in these things, you must be an Old Soul, aren't you?
;-)
