When you see a thing,
look at it as a temporal stack
of all the choices and actions
that led to its being the way it is now.

And realize that it will continue
to be acted upon by such things,
and will continue, therefore, to change.

People who say life needs death
don't understand life.
Life uses death to help it
become something death can't touch.

How many have died
like no one had ever died
before them?
