<p style="text-align: center;">Death and resurrection are not singular events<br />but the essence of the life force that animates us,<br />the divine creation encrypted in our flesh.<br />I am a-borning self in an a-borning universe.<br />My gestation period is eternal.<br />My end is not knowable.<br />Therefore I hope.<sup>1</sup><br />                         <em>Sam Keen</em></p>
<p> November of course is the month we commemorate and pray for our dead, beginning with All Souls' Day on November 2<sup>nd</sup>, stretching through the month, with the dozens of prayer requests that have come pouring in. Not to mention all the deaths we've been surrounded by in our little world...</p>
