“If we died, the world would continue to move along as if nothing happened because we’re just a small part of it. When the small part dies, the body remains. Water, carbon, ammonia, lime, phosphorus, salt, saltpeter, sulfur, magnesium, fluorine, iron, and aluminum. The body’s only a combination of those simple elements; nothing more. We are destined to be decomposed by bacteria and become nutrients for plants. Then you follow the process further. Those plants nourish herbivores and those herbivores nourish carnivores, even others like us, and though we lose awareness, our lives keep moving through the system. The great flow that maintains the universe. Call it the cycle of life or the course of nature. Each of us is just a small part of that current. One in the All. And yet, without all the individuals, the All can’t exist. This world flows by following grander laws we can’t even imagine. To recognize that flow and work within it. To decompose and recreate; that is Alchemy”
