woops, h7e/es8- that was Sasha's fault, seh stepped on the keyboard. anyway, i was saying that I had to get out my copy of thee "Tao Te Ching" because the concept reminded me so much of taoist thinking that death is life, all are one etc and I found this passage which you may find appropriate"
XIV
Look, you cannot see It,
It is Formless.
Listen, you cannot hear It,
It is Soundless.
Grasp, you cannot touch IT,
It is a Non-Being.
These three are indiscernible
And therefore are merged into ONe.
Its upper part is not dazzling, its lower part is not dark;
It is nameless and in ceaseless motion,
And returns to the Void.
Form of the formless, image of the imageless,
It is indistinct and indefinable.
Confront It and you wil not see Its face,
Follow It and you will not find Its back.
Hold fast to the hoary Tao,
Thus gaining mastery over the moment,
Knowing the beginning of time as the thread of Tao."

Void, nameless, image of the imageless, and other parts remind me Shinigami and the tone of this.
IT is awesome, thanks for publishing it, I had a great time with it. I look forward to reading more of your work.
Your friend,
Dru

That's good! Real good!
