“Sometimes to live again, we have to let ourselves die completely. We have to let ourselves become completely, utterly new. When grief rings, surrender. There is nothing else to do. The delivery is utter transformation.”
― Glennon Doyle, Untamed

“I believe we each have the opportunity to undergo thousands of little deaths and rebirths everyday. Each time we do, we free up space to live more fully in tune with who we really are, and to go where we are being called to go.”
― Laurie E. Smith, Spirit In Disguise: A Guide to Miraculous Living, Book 2

“And then, not knowing why, she remembered that rebirth itsellf, human life, was supposed to be the penalty. Life in a human body rather than endless peace. She curved her lips in a smile thinking, "Is it penalty or reward to live in this body?”
― Marion Zimmer Bradley, The Mists of Avalon

“I died as mineral and became a plant,
I died as plant and rose to animal,
I died as animal and I was human,
Why should I fear? When was I less by dying?
Yet once more I shall die human,
To soar with angels blessed above.
And when I sacrifice my angel soul
I shall become what no mind ever conceived.
As a human, I will die once more,
Reborn, I will with the angels soar.
And when I let my angel body go,
I shall be more than mortal mind can know.”
