Okay! I'Ll Settle For Cremation...

Wrap-me-up in a sheet, dig a hole, dump me in!
Let me fertilize a tree, would that be a sin?
Don't want no one cryin' over a shell of me...
Let me turn back to earth and rot naturally!

Cool, is all I can say in totally agreement, Tim. To this great truth of wisdom spoken. The body, just a shell of form turning back to it's life energy status. Smile! Thanks for your comments Tim, and no, I did not get the E-Mail. Agape, Moses

I can hear this in a commercial, the good ones they USED to make. It has that irreverent appeal that I like. Solid. Thanks for your kind words. Regards from Gerard,

What does it matter, what happens to the shell? :) You won't be there, right? Good write, Tim, thought provoking. Thank you for your very nice comments on my latest, "Aria". Yes, it is about a duet. A song sung with 2 voices in harmony. Caroline.
