"It's impossible to describe it. You can only say, 'It isn't,' trying to tell people what it is. I don't know any of our friends that haven't said one thing: 'Well. I never knew anything like that in the whole of my life.' And one or two people have said to me, 'That's what death is going to be like, and what fun it will be.'

The colors, the beauties, the designs, the beautiful way things appear. People themselves, dull people, that I thought dull, appear fascinating, interesting, mysterious, wonderful. But that's only the beginning. Suddenly you notice, that there aren't these separations, that we're not on a separate island shouting across to somebody else and trying to hear what they are saying and misunderstanding them. You know. You used the word yourself, empathy. There's things flowing underneath, we're parts of a single continent. It meets underneath the water, and with that goes such delight, the sober certainty of waking bliss."


"No mei-mei, it's time to wake up."
