Impermanence

Today I learned of the death of a colleague of mine.
One with whom I have worked regularly...closely on occasion.
Whose accent I loved (beautiful African lilt), whose taste I envied..whose life was far
too short.. abbreviated by cancer. Of course to those who are left we think that the life lost should have had the gift of longevity. Maybe it was just the right amount of time to accomplish what she came here to do.

“Life is eternal; and love is immortal; and death is only a horizon; and a horizon is nothing save the limit of sight”

“In her book, The Quantum Self: Human Nature and Consciousness Defined by the New Physics Danah Zohar proposes this alternative view of human immortality. In her chapter "The Survival of the Self: Quantum Immortality" Zohar explains that at the quantum level, when individual particles collide with other particles, they either become something new or "return to the source from which they sprang." But although the individual particle ceases to be what it originally was, its brief existence influences what it has now become.”
