Death
German: Tod
Common meaning:
End of life, cessation of biological function, loss
Clear meaning:
The return of form into the field—not ending, but the dissolution of separation in visible shape.
Death appears as cessation,
but structurally, it is not disappearance—
it is the reabsorption of appearance
into what has always held it.
What dies
is not life—
but the belief
that life was ever a separate thing.
Death is not the opposite of birth—
it is the same doorway,
moving the other way.
Death is not loss—
it is the dissolving
into what never ceased.
