“Eternal life is only awareness. Understanding that everything participates in circles of return. That everyone will be transfigured and reborn. Even a stone will become earth in which a tree will bear fruit to be eaten by a child which will become the twinkle of an eye. Everything will change. And the holy one will meet everything backstage, in between performances, will answer all our questions and show us all of eternity from one end to the other. The Holy One appears when one thing ends and another thing begins. A baby is born. A child becomes an adult. An old person dies. One enters a room. One leaves a room. One sets out on a journey. Blessed may you be in your coming in and blessed may you be in your going out. God is there. In the spaces in between. Reminding us that we have all along been destined to live forever. Ascending through even higher spirals of awareness and chambers of light. Allowing us to remember what has gone before. Now we are able to hang onto the thread that binds one life awareness to the next.”
