… and you can be sure that Earth will be glad to have you, thanks to your biodegradable casket.

Sounds like a good description of the plain pine box that will be my final bed. The more we advance, the more we mirror what was done in the distant past.


By the sweat of your face
you shall eat bread,
till you return to the ground,
for out of it you were taken;
for you are dust,
and to dust you shall return.
Genesis 3:19
