reLive Memorial Come Back As A Tree
The reLive project is a process to return the human body to nature in a 4-step, CO2-neutral process.
Via reLive.
In his 1954 story Of Withered Apples, science fiction writer Philip K. Dick writes about a woman who picks the last apple from an ancient tree that is determined to live on.
Lori picked the leaf up. It was old and brown. Her heart skipped a beat as she slipped the leaf into the pocket of her jeans. Against her loins the leaf cut and tingled, a little hard point piercing her smooth skin and sending exciting shivers up and down her spine. She stood at the open window a moment, sniffing the air. The air was full of the presence of trees and rocks, of great boulders and remote places. It was time - time to go again. She touched the leaf. She was wanted.
