How to: be reborn
“If you die before you die, you won’t die when you die.” Inscription over the door to St. Paul's Monastery, Mt. Athos Mt. Athos in Northern Greece is one of those places that gave me goosebumps. I can see why people thought, hundreds of years ago, that this mountain ITSELF was holy. It has this awe inspiring, etherial quality of this towering mountain on the very edge of the deep blue sea. And because of these qualities...they built a monastery on top of it. So that people could be closer to God. While it's not currently open to women (sigh) I stayed at a hotel that I could see the sunrise over the holy mountain many years ago and it was magic. But apparently, there is a strange quote on the door.... “If you die before you die, you won’t die when you die.” You are probably thinking to yourself...Kristina. How the HELL do you do die before you die??!?!?! ... I'm going to let you in on a little secret... You've already died at least once. And have been reborn. Yup
