When you walk through a forest you will see not only abundant life all around you,
 
but you will also encounter fallen trees and decaying trunks, rotting leaves
 
and decomposing matter at every step.
 
Wherever you look, you will find death as well as life.
 

Upon closer scrutiny, however, you will discover

 

that the decomposing tree trunk and rotting leaves not only give

 

birth to new life,

 

but are full of life themselves. 

 

Microorganisms are at work. 

 

Molecules are rearranging themselves. 

 

 

So death isn't to be found anywhere. 

 

There is only the metamorphosis of life forms. 

 

Death is not the opposite of life. 

 

Life has no opposite.

 

The opposite of death is birth. 

 

Life is eternal.
