“…For what is it to die but to stand naked in

the wind and to melt into the sun?

And what is it to cease breathing, but to free the

breath from its restless tides, that it may rise and

expand and seek God unencumbered?

Only when you drink from the river of silence

shall you indeed sing.

And when you have reached the mountain top,

then you shall begin to climb.

And when the earth shall claim your limbs, then

shall you truly dance…”
