Am I  talkin' coming back as another creature? 
 
I have given this very subject some thought, after watching a  couple of 
episodes of a series titled "The Universe," on the History  Channel.  A mayfly has 
one day, we have several decades.  A planet has  a couple of million years, 
the sun,  a few billion, perhaps.   Everything that "is"  has always been, in 
one form or  another.
 
Galaxies collide and explode/implode, and spew elements outward,  and a few 
dots fall on a planet, and therein begins life.  A mayfly dies  and becomes 
part of a bird, and part of the bird droppings that enrich the soil.  A flower 
grows and casts seeds.  Man makes bread of the seeds and becomes  part of the 
mayfly. A man dies, and his elements scatter, become part of the  planet.  In 
time, the planet explodes, casting bits of elements outward, to  drift to other 
worlds. 
 
It's all in the shifting of the elements.  The essence of  every living thing 
becomes a minute part of every other living thing. Seeds and  birds and 
flowers and mayflies and planets all part of us. or we a part of  them.
 
In a trillion, cazillion, megazillion  years, will  all your elements drift  
back together to become another  you?
