“Do you believe in life after death”, I asked, more with the intent of breaking the grip of silence that seemed to tighten its hold every minute. “Yes, certainly”, said he. “It is a cycle…birth, death and rebirth. Every day, many souls journey across space, passing from one realm to the next. Only a few enlightened ones can break free of this cycle. Dwelling amongst the stars forever.” In the ensuing silence, his words seemed to reverberate….Break free….free… Unending silence Starry spectacle unfolds.. Watched only by ghosts.
