Eternity Lies Ahead for You and Me

image found on the internet

''My dearest!  Eternity lies ahead for you and me.  Life will always claim its own, you see.  The littlest ray of sunlight glistens in the spring, and the soul enrobes itself in its new things.  But the decaying body does not embrace the ground in vain.  Come spring, from our bodies will sprout new flowers and grass again.  You shall forever hear the birds sing, and drink in the drops of rain.  In the blue sky above, the clouds - again and again - will entrance you with their dance.

''And if you, my dearest, should find yourself scattered across the unfathomable Universe as little specks of dust, still refusing to believe, then from these specks of dust wandering through eternity I shall begin to gather you up.  And the tree you plant will help me do this: in the early spring, to the place where your soul lies in unfeeling peace, it will stretch out its branch above.  And those you have been kind to upon the Earth will remember you with love.  And if the sum total of earthly love is not enough to materialise you once again, then there is one - one whom you know, and on every plane of being she will be flaming with a single breath of desire, namely: materialise yourself, my love! - there is one who will give herself over, for a moment, unto death.''
