Death is a bridge

Death is a bridge between friends. The time now nears that I cross that bridge, and friend meets Friend.

Abu Hamid al-Ghazali (1058–1111)
Islamischen Mystiker 

There is a land of the living and a land of the dead and the bridge is love, the only survival, the only meaning.

Thornton Wilder 
aus seinem Roman The Bridge of San Luis Rey

Don’t be dismayed at goodbyes. A farewell is necessary before you can meet again. And meeting again, after moments or lifetimes, is certain for those who are friends.

Richard Bach
aus Jonathan Livingston Seagull

Denn wir haben hier keine bleibende Stadt, sondern wir suchen die zukünftige.

Hebräer 13,14

Der Staub kehrt zur Erde zurück, wie er gewesen ist, der Geist aber kehrt zu Gott zurück, der ihn gegeben hat.

Kohelet 12,7
