With every new role, actors change costume as well as partners, and this new part teaches them something more about themselves and about others. Well, with us it is the same: we cannot keep playing the same part forever, and after a time we must leave the world’s stage. We call this stage exit ‘death’, but actually there is only uninterrupted life. The actor is still alive after the show… We have to become accustomed to seeing existence as a continuum. Humans have a bad habit of drawing boundaries everywhere: between the spiritual and the material, between waking and sleeping, between life and death… No, existence is all one."
For the Mountains may go away and the hills may totter, but my faithful love will never leave you. (Isaiah 54:10) Love never comes to an end. (1Corinthians 13:8)

Existence - must be understood as a continuum
With every new role, actors change costume as well as partners, and this new part teaches them something more about themselves and about others.
