Cocoon After Death

Seeds of sadness planted today will one day grow and mature into genuine compassion for others. Enfolded in the cloak of sorrow, emptiness and pain, our beings are transformed much like a caterpillar in it's cocoon. Experiencing the intensity and closeness of death alters our very soul and being. Eventually changing into the caring, gentle, kind individuals who reach out, hugging others close as they experience individual losses of death while lying dormant through the many months of loneliness. In the end most of us live through our cocoon stages somehow and go on to become who we have grown into. Our seeds of sadness having grown rooted wings and flown beyond the stars of death, forever gliding the skies on clouds of compassionate tearful good-byes.
