Death & Birth

Yesterday I witnessed
many deaths and
many births
as the snow fell
on my windshield.

They lived as snow flakes
Then they died
Born again as water droplets
Right in front of my eyes.

I was able to glimpse, for just a fraction of a second, the truth of birth and death being only transitional doors we travel through when the time and conditions are met. For this brief spark of realization I am grateful and happy to be alive.
