Departures

I think it was Freud who said that the idea of our own death is so unbearable that we act as if it will never happen.  And so we need a poet like Félix Leclerc to help us appreciate the gift of our mortality: C’est grand la mort - c’est plein de vie dedans  (death is generous – full of the gift of life).

For an inspirational glimpse into that gift and the way death can rebirth new life, I highly recommend a beautifully moving film: Departures
