Death belongs to life as birth does The walk is in the raising of the foot as in the laying of it down.

Life, like a child, laughs, shaking its rattle of death as it runs.

Death is not something to be afraid of, and I have never seen it that way. Yet, the sadness that it brings cannot be shrugged away.

Let life be beautiful like summer flowers and death like autumn leaves.

There's no way around grief and loss: you can dodge all you want, but sooner or later you just have to go into it, through it, and, hopefully, come out the other side. The world you find there will never be the same as the world you left.

I think death is the most wonderful invention of life. It purges the system of these old models that are obsolete.
