DEATH

Let me tell you a story about dying.
You live a lifetime. At the end of it you say to
those around your deathbed,

"what a long life! Why, I lived ninety whole years.
   Do you know how much I did?"
   
And then you die.

You wake up and ask,

"How long was I gone?"

The Being of Light who is with you answers,

"We hardly noticed you were gone at all.
   You just sat down and dozed off for a second
   and here you are again.
   What kind of a dream did you have this time?"
