So, my fellow escapist, my question is, what will you have happen to your body upon your death? Will you have it buried, perhaps cremated?
For example, I want to be buried when I die, But no with no coffin. Simply lowered into the earth, and then covered with the soil. Nothing separating me from the rest of the earth. I want no tombstone to stand monument to this spot. Instead, I want a Sapling of a tree planted on top of my grave. I think an apple tree. The only standing testament that any body lays buried on that spot, nothing else.
As my body disintegrates, physical evidence of myself will leave the world, but from my nutrients, the tree will feed and grow. Ad time goes on, the tree would grow strong, and fruit will bloom from it. From that fruit the creature of the world can feed freely. Giving them life, much like I gave life to the tree. Eventually, that tree will die, as all living things do. But it will have feed many; helping to give life.
When that tree dies, my final ties to the world will die with it. I will no longer have any physical attachment to this, or any world. Eventually, the creatures who ate from the tree will die, and feeding the world upon their deaths, much like I did. From the feeding, more will live, as that is how it will continue as the cycle of life upon death continues with it.
So, my escapist friends, what will you have done to your body?
