Life, death, - death, life; the words have led for ages <br />Our thought and consciousness and firmly seemed <br />Two opposites; but now long-hidden pages <br />Are opened, liberating truths undreamed. <br />Life only is, or death is life disguised, - <br />Life a short death until by Life we are surprised.<br /><br />Sri Aurobindo<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/life-and-death-67/
