i was reflecting on a thought i have had for years, and even discussed with my wife at times. When i die i want to be placed on a funeral pyre and burned , much like the vikings, lest the sea. Once i am consumed, my remaining ashes to be placed by a fir or cedar, (my favorite trees) and in essence live forever through being risen into the air, and being consumed through the tree and dispersed through its leaves, and the birds eat the seeds and so on and so on etc. But it was sad to hear my wifes rebuttal." you cant do that." Why the f*&^ not? We have gotten so entrenched in being ruled and brow beaten, it's in our very veins and it doesn't appear till we have an abstract idea or thought. I refuse to be processed as the STATE wants or anyone else. I should be able to ask for my last wishes be honored and the state, feds, officials be damned. I am free, born free, and will stay free. Any thoughts on this or your own wishes?
