Dreamer, I really like the ideas you are expressing, usually saying what
I would wish to say, but with greater clarity than I can muster. However,
I'm not quite so happy about the above. Surely, death is the other
half, the twin, of _birth_ not of life ? Life _contains_ both birth and death,
whether we use the word for any discrete individual human 'three score
and ten' episode, or, using the word in its broader 'Life on Earth' sense. In
both instances, incidents of death and incidents of birth are constantly
occuring - beginnings and endings - contained within the larger matrix
of Life, or the smaller matrix of our individual temporal experience.
Chris.
