Die Many Deaths

I do not fear death as others do because in someway I’ve already experienced it. For we are not the same person we were 20 years ago and will not be the same person 20 years later even if it’s with the same beating heart. That person of our youth would not recognize the person who stands in front of them 20 years later. Yes, the heartbeat and DNA are the same but so many other aspects of their previous life-time have changed or even died.  Their dreams, goals, values, image might be quite different than the one that exists today. The beat might go on but their previous existence does not.  So maybe when the heartbeat final ends here it just begins anew somewhere else or could it be beating there now. I’m not afraid to die as others do because I believe it might have already occurred previously.
