Introduction
Death is not the "big sleep" - it is the "great awakening". Life is the dream, a phantom sonata, by turns ammusing, annoying, strange, absurd, terrifying and tumultuous, but beautiful and desirable too.

Then we become enthusiastic, impatient to cross over and step out on a new, even more exciting stage of the journey.......
