Little Hawk says: "...for me, everything is alive, and death is a term which denotes merely the ending of one specific life form as it changes to some other type of living manifestation."

LH, I absolutely agree with that. I'm glad that you mentioned atoms, which reinforces my point about scientific research having answered at least some questions about life and death.

Thanks for the compliment! Also, nice point about "ego identities" as a temporary mask on the face of life (there's my thought-to-ponder for the day!).
