I think the reason the world is a mystical, enchanting place, is because of the cycle of life. My body will decompose, but maybe some little element of it will be transformed into a particle of dirt, over years and years,and then a glorious flower will be nurtured by this particle of dirt. Then this flower will nourish a random bumblebee, who in turn will be eaten by a raven. So, in some future life, I'll be able to fly. I look forward to that. I've always admired the freedom of birds.","author":"E. M. Crane","tags":["cycle-of-life","death","death-and-dying","hope"],"id":142711,"author_id":"E.+M.+Crane"},{"text":"...Hope.
