> ON THE DAY I DIE
> 
> On the day I die, when I'm being carried
> toward the grave, don't weep. Don't say,
> 
> 'He's gone!  He's gone."  Death has nothing
> to do with going away. The sun sets and
> 
> the moon sets, but they're not gone.
> Death is a coming together. The tomb
> 
> looks like a prison, but it's really
> release from union. The human seed goes
> 
> down in the ground like a bucket into
> the well where Joseph is. It grows and
> 
> comes up full of some unimagined beauty
> Your mouth closes here and immediately
> 
> opens with a shout of joy there.
