nice analogy of death---- In the bottom of an old pond lived some larvae who could not understand why none of their group ever cane back after crawling up the stems of the lilies to the top of the water. They promised each other that the next one who was called to make the upward climb would return and tell what happened to him. Soon one of them felt an urgent need to seek the surface; he rested himself atop the lily pad and went through a glorious transformation which made him a dragon fly with beautiful wings. In vain he tried to keep his promise. Flying back and forth over the pond, he peered down at his friends below. Then he realised that even if they could see him, they would not recognise such a radiant creature as one of their number! And so the fact remains that we cannot see our friends and loved ones, or communicate with them after the transformation, which we call death, is no proof that they cease to exist. They are now beautiful beings, our eyes can’t recognise with new robes the Creator has dressed them with.
