"All life is transient, and therefore will reconstitute somewhere else in some other form….As one form dies, so is another reborn."

Thank you for this precious reminder, Open. Your words call to mind the lyrics from The Youngbloods in their song, "Get Together":

"We are but a moment's sunlight fading in the grass."

And also a favoured quote from Openhand:

"What the caterpillar calls the end of the world, the master calls a butterfly." ~Richard Bach

Humour is my saving grace. When you thanked me for "being there," my quirky, comedic mind alighted on the final scene of the film "Being There" with Peter Sellers as he dips his umbrella into the lake and walks across the water. "Life is a state of mind," muses the U.S. President in the final scene. Yes, indeed.
