every fruit i eat has travelled so far, generations of coming from the soil and returning, to reach my finger tips. i don't always feel finish it, but i feel obligated to return it to the earth

we live in a world where we don't see flowers everyday, dying, where we aren't acquainted with the cycles of creation and death, returning to the soil we live in a world with objects, that we trash without thought, whose souls get stuck in landfills somewhere

the water in our bodies came from the ocean and the mud from the clay and the stone. they will return for most of my life, i related to this like it was a metaphor. a cute idea people had
