It is raining and you can hear the pattern of the drops. You can hear it with your ears, or you can hear it out of that deep silence.

If you die to everything you know,including your family,yourmemory,everything you have felt,then death is a purification,a rejuvenating process;then death brings innocence and it is only the innocent who are passionate, not the people who believe or who want to find out what happens after death.
