Eternal Life

There is birth and there is death.
Surrounding both of them
is eternal life.

If you believe that you are dying,
soon you will awaken at the doorway
leading to transformation.

If you declare you are born again,
new life has delivered your soul
through a dark passage.

If you say that you are alive,
then you recognize your place
amidst the transcendent.



Life has no meaning the moment you lose the illusion of being eternal.
Jean-Paul Sartre
