The Buddhist believe that at the end of your life you will become either a higher life form or a lower one based on your previous life and actions. This idea is called Umarekawari. It is a compound word taken from the word Umareru (to be Born) and Kawaru (to Change). It is a beautiful idea of life continuing but never the same. Sometimes we need a little push, a little Umarekawari if you will to make us new, give us hope, and change us in some way. I hope to make Umarekawari a daily part of my life as I strive to become, not a high life form, but just a better person in all respects. Here is my best hope of an Umarekawari:

I can decide at any moment to study more diligently, to love more fully, to pay attention more intently. I have been fascinated lately with the idea of being born again.
