The circle of the return to birth can only remain open, but this is a chance, a sign of life, and a wound.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Death, like birth, is a secret of Nature.
Birth is violent, and out of that violence is our only chance of rebirth.
We think birth is a miracle and death is a tragedy, but really they're flip sides of the same coin - anything born is gonna die.
The past grows gradually around one, like a placenta for dying.
The 'Course in Miracles' says one day you will realize that death is not the punishment but the reward. And it says that birth is not the beginning of life but a continuation. And physical death is not the end of life but a continuation.
Our birth is nothing but our death begun, As tapers waste the moment they take fire.
It's necessary to give birth to hope again.
We begin to die as soon as we are born, and the end is linked to the beginning.
Everything born has to die, in order to make room for the future.
No one recovers from the disease of being born, a deadly wound if there ever was one.
