Life Cycle - Birth, Death and an Earthquake

New things today, we found out about a death and a birth. Today of all days, St. Patrick's day yes, I found out our friends had a little baby girl born this morning. Later this evening, I found out that a relative's grandmother died this morning as well. The death was quite sad, and the birth quite lovely. I'd like to think that life comes around and I would like to think that a new life was born, and someone else left and passed on to better place. Really sort of neat to find out that, it was one of those, circle of life things. Really odd and great when it all comes together like that. We had an earthquake this morning as well. Interesting firsts today.

Some quotes I thought were appropriate.

The world is round and the place which may seem like the end may also be the beginning.
~Ivy Baker Priest

God pours life into death and death into life without a drop being spilled.  ~Author Unknown


“For certain is death for the born And certain is birth for the dead; Therefore over the Thou shouldst not grieve.”
Bhagavad Gita


“I'm not scared of dyin', and I don't really care if it's peace you find in dyin'. Well then let the time be near. And when I die and when I'm gone there'll be one child born and a world to carry on.”
Laura Nyro
