Inseparable Death and Life

It’s often in our relationship with death, that our participation in life finds its depth. Death does not belittle life, death is not the enemy of life, death and life are two sides of the same coin. They are inseparable from each other and inform each other. There is no life without death and no death without life. What if we wrangled with death, conversed with it, welcomed its lessons, and bowed to its sacredness, and what if in doing so our life’s became more vibrant, more alive, not in spite of death, but because of it? What if death is not something to run from, but something we can rest in?
