Is death the end of life, or just the end of this life? I believe we mistake death as a medical event when we should see it as a sacred experience. As I’ve come to understand it, death is not the end. Instead, it’s a transformation of consciousness—a passage of energy from one dimension to another—into something much greater. A space so vast and beautiful that earthly language can’t describe it.—MAURA MCINERNEY-ROWLEY
