I just know, okay?  That's why I am not afraid of it.  I will try to answer any questions, but choose the questions wisely, or you might get more than an earful (or a long chain of e-mails)!  Philosophy is my bag, baby!  I truly admire activists, because I am, admittedly, too lazy & busy being a mom & burying people, to do anything, though I actually do give a damn.  It is astonishing how many of our race do not give a damn, even go out of their way to not give a damn!   Props to all of the moms out there working to invoke change!  (I don't mean the kind of change that comes with acceptance of worn-out patriarchal religious beliefs, but the kind that causes complete world paradigm shifts without violence.)  I love the earth, and I do not work in the most eco-friendly of businesses; however, there is no other way around it in death care... I will let you in on a secret that so many people are afraid to admit:  Every life begins, every life ends, and both are usually messy.   We populate, we take up space, we pollute, even when we are gone.  The Earth sustains us while we live, and she holds us when we die (a good Mother, like Mary).  The Earth will continue to spin... On and on and on it goes, until we cannot percieve it anymore, moving in a circle, everything goes, and we'll all Float On...

"All that lives, lives forever.  Only the shell, the perishable passes away.  The spirit is without end, eternal, deathless."   ~The Bagvhad Gita~
