Those You are With Thoughts on death On the day I die, when I m being carried toward the grave, don t weep. 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 into 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. - Jelaluddin Rumi, written the day before he died.
