What tree do you want to be reborn as? | |
pinkpixiexx User ID: 9096725 United Kingdom 02/22/2013 03:41 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I have always said I would like to be buried so that my remains return to the soil and become part of the cycle of life and that I would like an apple tree...or another fruit tree planted over me so that I become part of something that produces food. That sounds an interesting option that you have found. I don't yet know where I would like to be planted... maybe on a mountain side overlooking the ocean...hmmm...no idea where though...lol Last Edited by *PinkPixie* on 02/22/2013 03:42 PM "When the power of love overcomes the love of power, the world will know peace" "Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail." “Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do.

Quoting: pinkpixiexx That sounds an interesting option that you have found.

An apple tree is a good choice. I am sure you could come up with an epic place to spread your roots.. "Fear paints pictures of ghosts and hangs them in the gallery of ignorance."

I agree, to me this is about the carbon atoms in your body being used for new life. You get to contribute your remains to instantly be transformed into something else.

Liquid_Pestilence (OP) User ID: 26997671 United States 02/22/2013 04:28 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | OK now for my choice, I would choose to be a sub alpine black Spruce tree. [link to en.wikipedia.org] If you have ever hiked tall mountains there is a small patch of forest area right before you get to the tree line in altitude where no trees can grow. Its entirely moss covered and just some small spruce trees and assorted shrubs are hardy enough to grow there. Its my favorite place in the woods and on a rainy foggy morning looks just like the land where the gnomes and mystical fairyland creatures of the bedtime stories live. I would like to be planted at Tree line on Mt. Katahdin so i could forever have the best views of the world and the freshest air.

Quoting: Dr. Acula read all about it here [link to www.guinnessworldrecords.com] That way anyone that fucked with me would feel my wrath! hahahaha, that is a perfect tree.. <Snip> The sap that its trunk exudes is so poisonous and acidic that the merest contact with human skin causes a breakout of blisters, and blindness can occur if it touches a person´s eyes. Even standing under it in the rain is enough to cause blistering if the skin is wetted by raindrops containing any sap. In addition, a single bite of its small green apple-like fruit causes blistering and severe pain, and can prove fatal. And if one of these deadly trees is burned, the resulting smoke can cause blindness if it reaches a person´s eyes. "Fear paints pictures of ghosts and hangs them in the gallery of ignorance."

My partner gave me up for dead when I did not arrive at our per-arranged meeting place. When facing your own demise a feeling of calm comes over you. It was weird. |
