Then Elmetra spoke again: Now we want to ask you about everything related to death. He said: You want to know the secret of death. But where will you find it except in the heart of life? An owl that only opens its eyes in the dark, but blind in the day, cannot lift the veil that hides the secret of light. If you really want to see the soul of death, then open your hearts for the body of life. For life and death are one, like the river and the sea. Your knowledge of the afterlife is hidden in the depths of your hopes and desires; Like seeds of sweet dreams under the snow, your hearts dream of spring.

Believe in your dreams, for within them are hidden portals to eternity. Your fear of death trembles like the shepherd's that stands before the king, whose head will honor the king's hand. Does not the shepherd who bears the king's seal feel joy even when he trembles? But why did he care more about his trembling? Is not death to stand in the wind and melt in the sun? Is not the cessation of the breath the release of the breath from its unending tides, so that it may rise, expand, and seek God unfettered? Only when you drink from the waters of silence do you really sing. Only when you reach the top of the mountain do you really start climbing.

Only when your limbs are taken by the earth do you really dance.
