DEATH THE TRANSFORMER
“I’ve learned something through all my experiences — that every exit is also an entrance. Every time you walk out of something, you walk into something. I got into this world by dying in the womb — and it must have been painful to get ripped out of that familiar place — but that was the prerequisite of my getting into time and space. You know at the end of my life in history there’s going to be a similar kind of transition experience. And if we can get at the terror of death by saying it is a transformer rather than an annihilator, then also we can get rid of the idea that death is a thief and is taking something that is rightfully ours, which is the basis of all the rage that I know.” John Claypool, The Wittenburg Door, Apr/May 1978.
