You're right about the euphemisms, either making light of what is the most important stage after birth, or refusing to look it in the eye out of fear.

The Zen beliefs resonate well with me, but the hundreds of the world's religions all have their own take on the "after life". I love your take. The folks who believe in the "Great Nothing" make me sad. I adored, and will not forget, your story of visiting new borns immediately after your father died.Glenn Buttkushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10680725814199700692noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-156773205591631053.post-86546889762049036272017-08-02T07:54:59.831-07:002017-08-02T07:54:59.831-07:00I think of life in chapters too, Bev.
