The bird lies still while the light goes on flying.
– W. S. Merwin, Poet from the poem Unknown Age
“For me this is the essence of a deep truth about why we’re here and how the universe works. While the body dies, the bird lies still. The light, which is love, is the essence of consciousness, which is our intention to grow and learn and which goes on flying. There’s a way that that’s immortal, eternal. I love the quote because it really conveys the truth that consciousness never dies, the light goes on flying.”
