Imagine what lies beyond this world, where we might all find ourselves when we die. The veil between this world and the next is thin, but the path that leads from it to final rest is too appealing for most to continue than retrace and come back. Sometimes, only love can bring someone back from that place, can make them want more than what the path beyond the veil offers.
