As I lay dying, I looked back upon my life and said to myself, "I haved lived. No regrets. No unfinished business. I made mistakes. I felt pain. I could have done better. But I also had fun. Made friends. Felt love. Experienced all I could. I am ready for death."

In some cultures, death is celebrated because it is not considered an end, but a new beginning or just a continutation, another step up the immortal ladder towards Eternity. We tend to think of life as having a beginning and end, being temporal and fleeting. But life never ends so long as those still living keep you in their memories. It never ends so long as the dust from whence you came to whence you return remains in the world, fertilizing new life. It never ends so long as you never let it end. Death is merely a state of being, not an end to it. Embrace death as you would life.

As I lay dying, I saw my life pass before my eyes. And it was good.
