||On Death|

Then Almitra spoke, saying, "We would ask now of Death."|

And he said:|

You would know the secret of death.|

But how shall you find it unless you seek it in the heart of life?|

The owl whose night-bound eyes are blind unto the day cannot unveil the mystery of light.|

If you would indeed behold the spirit of death, open your heart wide unto the body of life.|

For life and death are one, even as the river and the sea are one.|

In the depth of your hopes and desires lies your silent knowledge of the beyond;|

And like seeds dreaming beneath the snow your heart dreams of spring.|

Trust the dreams, for in them is hidden the gate to eternity.|

Your fear of death is but the trembling of the shepherd when he stands before the king whose hand is to be laid upon him in honour.|

Is the shepherd not joyful beneath his trembling, that he shall wear the mark of the king?|

Yet is he not more mindful of his trembling?|

For what is it to die but to stand naked in the wind and to melt into the sun?|

And what is 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.| ||
