BOOK 9 -21


The termination of an activity, the pause when an impulse or judgement is finished - this sort is a sort of death, but no harm in it. Turn now to the stages of your life - childhood, say adolescence, prime, old age. Here too each change a death: anything fearful in that? Turn now to your life with your grandfather, then your mother, then with your [adoptive] father. And as you find many other examples of dissolution, change, or termination, ask yourself : 'Was there anything to fear?' So too there is nothing to fear in the termination, the pause, and the change  of your your life.
