Singularity and Similarity

At the beginning of time you looked like a green singularity, a botanical thing itself, but a couple of weeks ago the space of the lawn in front of my house lighted a sun, yellow and not very hot, around which the furry satellites of bumblebees revolved... I always guessed that death is just the beginning of something new: this morning, looking out the window, I saw that the star had died and turned into a little expanding universe. Soon, I, lean and bald, will smile to myself, observing a certain similarity between me and you.

The protagonist guesses. The author knows. A pretty routine situation, isn't it?) Thank you.

"I always guessed that death is just the beginning of something new" - this is my belief, also.
