in life, you are the perpetual transformation and transition of energy through processes and interactions. in death, you are the perpetual transformation and transition of energy through processes and interactions. there is no cessation of being, there is no cessation of non-being. death is a continuation of life, life is a continuation of death. such is the cycle of existence. such is the cycle of non-existence. the blood and skin and bones of your ancestors are the creation of the plant, are the creation of the fruit, are the creation of yourself, are the creation of your interactions, are the creation of others and their perceptions, are the creation of mass consciousness. life is an interrelation from which none can, or should wish to escape.
