I watched life and death unfold like a dance on the side of that road. My son was born with a bloodstained face and he died with blood from the accident covering that same face.

About This Quote

A dance is a type of dance where you move gracefully and with great style. The ability to move your body with such grace and style is something that many people strive for. We also see dances as something wonderful and beautiful, so it is not surprising that we would like to be part of a dance. However, we might not realize that the same thing is true about life and death.

When we see death, we see a person who has lost their life and their beauty. We also see a person who died in an accident, covered in blood. A dancer can die in an accident and be covered in blood.

But it does not make them any less of a dancer, because all of those things are part of the art of dancing.
