I think that is what dying into life refers to. When we have finished our mortal trials, we will die into our spiritual, real life.Anniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14655373535898608993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-444241135730921146.post-86679598455911031472011-02-13T20:12:43.782-08:002011-02-13T20:12:43.782-08:00Celia, thank you for your suggestions about dying ...Celia, thank you for your suggestions about dying into or with life. I appreciate these perspectives you are describing here. Renewal and intensity. Hmmm.. I can relate.Gaea Yudronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08013222275959251523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-444241135730921146.post-15051099668059311892011-02-13T12:41:20.818-08:002011-02-13T12:41:20.818-08:00Such a thoughtful post Gaea, thank you. There'...Such a thoughtful post Gaea, thank you. There's a couple of things the phrase "dying with life" brought to my mind. First, I think going through life changes, frightening, enlightening, and occasionally profound we alter spiritually. Sort of like creatures who grow by shedding their skin, or shells. We drop those inner confinements as we grow and like those critters are tender and vulnerable at each passage but come back hopefully stronger and wiser. <br /><br />Second, I realize the end of my life could be tomorrow (as it always could have) or twenty years from now and that it is important to me appreciate each space as I'm in it. As long as I'm breathing and can string two thoughts togehter, I hope to live each moment with as much life as possible.Celiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14485118642482033233noreply@blogger.com
