Wouldn’t it be cool if animals could transfer to plants and plants to animals? For instance, you would be born from, let’s say, a tree. You feed from the tree, you live in the tree, you are the tree and the tree is you. You grow older, now you can walk, use tools, and communicate. Then comes the part of your life that you wonder about. The part where you leave the existence you know and go to one that is frightening and new. You are planted in the ground and roots and leaves sprout up from your spinal column and appendages. You become a tree, a plant, retaining the memories from your previous life. Your brothers and sisters (literally and figuratively) can communicate with you and you with them. You have gone from plant, to animal, back to plant. You have always been one with the earth and will always be one with the earth. Not only that, you are able to connect with future generations because they will seek you for guidance. You willingly provide them with tools and shelter by shedding limbs and trunk. You are honored and revered. Yeah, I thought it was cool, too.
