“Death reveals a different face: not the executioner but the courtier, assisting in our great translation.” I’m using “translated” from this day forward! So happy to have read this magnificent book (and Involutions)!❤️
Having lived long enough to have experienced and processed several deaths it didn't change much. But what it did do is expand what I think about the time before birth. That there is this great eternity and "life" is like fireflies, sparks, stars, is so brief and then there is the return to eternity. It is inherently intimate with life, love, memory, and identity.

J. Davis: It’s rare for a writer to get such a compliment. To change a reader’s mind is one thing; to change his/her language is quite another! —MS
