"There is a difference between the light and the light bulb." (Possible paraphrase, there.)

This bulb that is me will burn out. But the light is still there-- possibly being directed through another vehicle. I don't know; and I don't care.

As long as the light --which is more than my mere corporeal presence and personality-- continues, all will be well.
