In Dead Earnest

If I should die before I wake,
All my bone and sinew take:
Put them in the compost pile
To decompose a little while.
Sun, rain, and worms will have their way,
Reducing me to common clay.
All that I am will feed the trees
And little fishes in the seas.
When corn and radishes you munch,
You may be having me for lunch.
Then excrete me with a grin,
Chortling, "There goes Lee again!"
Twill be my happiest destiny
To die and live eternally.

He died on August 26, 1981 from diabetic cardiovascular disease at home in Croton, and, in accordance with his wishes, his ashes were mixed with his compost pile.

Interesting concept, but I do believe that there is a definatel life after death, and I do believe that as you pointed out, the universe is too grand for there not to be other life forms out there. No, I have not experienced or seen any aliens, bu that does not mean that they don't exist. But then, I never saw a real Tyranasaurs Rex before either, yet they are scientificaly proven facts of prehistoric times.

I've seen a Tyrannosaur skeleton in the Museum of Natural History. When someone shows me the skeleton of an alien, then maybe I'll believe in them.

So basicaly, you only believe in what you can see. That's cool. Many others are the same way, my own brothers included. I do have to acknowledge that it is possible, but not very probably, that we Earthlings are the only life in the entire cosmos. I just can't see it being that way, because the cosmos is infinite, and there are so many billions of stars and planets out there, but I can't totaly rule that out as a pobbibility. I doubt that anyone will ever know the reality of it in our life times.
