With life comes inevitable death, on monumental and miniature levels. It goes without saying that each person will experience a final death — the one that expires the physical body as we know it and stands as a period at the end of the sentence of this manifestation of life. This absolute rest is a fundamental part of living, one that has been much explored. I am more interested in the mini-death: the end of a time, the death of an era, and the consequent start anew: the process of a metamorphosis.
