So that the connection...

So that the connection between learning how to die and changing, being transformed, turning your world upside down, inverting your world so that you actually are in a different kind of zone, you have a new self. That’s why love is so inseparable from any talk about truth and death, because we know that love is fundamentally a death of an old self that was isolated and the emergence of a new self now entangled with another self, the self that you fall in love with.
