All the components of a sunrise exist before we see the bright colors and light, and after they are gone. Only the conditions change, that enable us to see the glory of that sight.
The same is true of life.
The same is true of life.
Thich Nhat Hanh says we are somewhere the day before we are conceived, and we are somewhere the day after we die.
He reminds us that when the conditions are right, then mycelium or Alpine flowers or human beings come alive .
The person comes into the world, living and breathing.
And when the conditions are no longer right, they leave the realm of living and breathing.
But ,much like the sky, it seems perhaps we are always here.
Merely changing form, from cosmos, to living breathing being, to cosmos once again.
