Death and dying Quote by Tahar ben Jelloun

“But you'll see, you can feel time on the wind it whips up as it passes. We don't worry about time or the wind. Nothing can touch us any more. As long as people remember us, we are here. Anyway, it's the wind that tells us, lets us know about the thigs we've left behind.” quote by Tahar ben Jelloun
