Back to Earth

When our loved ones pass away, we are upset about how something, no matter if it is an accident, disease, or natural age takes them away. Nature is cruel and ruthless, but at the same time, it is also gentle and tolerant. It can be chaotic but also has its own mystery system to keep everything going for over 4 billion years.
When we die, there are many ways to handle our bodies, such as burial or cremation. However, in some way, death can be seen as setting our spirit free. We become our most natural form, our body returning to it’s most basic elements. We are no longer limited by the physical body. We can be anything and go anywhere. When we die we return to nature and become a part of it.
