“A person should be buried only half a meter, or two feet, below the surface. Then a tree should be planted there. He should be buried in a coffin that decays so that when you plant a tree on top the tree will take something out of his substance and change it into tree-substance. When you visit the grave you don’t visit a dead man, you visit a living being who was just transformed into a tree. You say, “This is my grandfather, the tree is growing well, fantastic.” You can develop a beautiful forest that will be more beautiful than a normal forest because the trees will have their roots in graves. It will be a park, a place for pleasure, a place to live, even a place to hunt.”

I feel the exact same way. Imagine if we were surrounded by tiny memorial forests instead of cemeteries. Trees don’t last forever, but in reality, neither do carved stones. Maybe my tree could become pages of a book. :)

The last few minutes of this documentary contains some extremely powerful words from Maurice Sendak about life and what he chose to do with his. Profound and inspiring. (via box brown on fb: start at minute 36.)
“Owing to its ephemeral nature, life is like a dream, quite brief and fleeting. However, Buddhism encourages us to work with this fleeting nature of life. Buddhism teaches that life, however brief, should be lived fruitfully so that there are no regrets. By emphasizing that the present moment is of paramount importance, Buddhism defines this moment as both cause and effect. As an effect the present is the product of the past, and as a cause it is the building block of the future. It is the only moment of life that one can free oneself from the effects of the past and at the same time project oneself into the future.”

![Do not stand at my grave and weep is a poem written in 1932 by Mary Elizabeth Frye.
Frye had never previously written any poetry, but the plight of a young German Jewish woman, Margaret Schwarzkopf, who was staying with her and her husband, inspired the poem. Margaret Schwarzkopf had been concerned about her mother, who was ill in Germany, but she had been warned not to return home because of increasing anti-Semitic unrest. When her mother died, the heartbroken young woman told Frye that she never had the chance to “stand by my mother’s grave and shed a tear”. Frye found herself inspired, composing a piece of verse, which she wrote on a brown paper shopping bag.

“
The problem, often not discovered until late in life, is that when you look for things in life like love, meaning, motivation, it implies they are sitting behind a tree or under a rock. The most successful people in life recognize, that in life they create their own love, they manufacture their own meaning, they generate their own motivation.
For me, I am driven by two main philosophies, know more today about the world than I knew yesterday. And lessen the suffering of others. You’d be surprised how far that gets you.
