    Thanks. Life is good. Rebirth can happen through things other than death. For me it happened through seeing a sweetgum leaf. Not in the Christian way, but in the realization that no matter what happened I'd be fine and in remembering that my own suffering is nothing if I'm not doing something to alleviate that of others.
