A Wave

“Picture a wave.  In the ocean.  You can see it, measure it…it’s height…the way the sunlight refracts when it passes through.  

And it’s there.  You can see it.  You know what it is…it’s a wave.  

And then it crashes on the shore and it’s gone.  But the water is still there. The wave was just a different way for the water to be for a little while.

The wave returns to the ocean.  Where it came from.  And where it’s supposed to be.” - Chidi, The Good Place

This is probably the most beautiful way I’ve ever heard life, and death, described.  It’s also the one that seems to fit my spirit and allows me to be most at peace.
