Transformation into different forms is the key to rejuvenation.

Leaves become soil, soil becomes vegetation, vegetation becomes animal matter.

Energy transforms through breakdown and reconstitution.

Death is the great gardener. Sowing, reaping, cultivating.

To become and to change is to accept death in its time.

The death of a moment, of a thought, of a body.

There are different deaths for different times, and each is potentially a different birth.

Choose! Be reaper, be ferryman, be lord.

Neglect not the last rites, for they decide what a thing becomes.
