(Earth Porm)
A picture that leaves a mind running wild and opening eyes wide with interest. What are these pods you may ask? A new idea for organic coffins in the Capsula Mundi Project based in Italy. Some may think it strange or even preposterous. I for one, think the idea is compelling. Death is often a subject that people avoid thinking about as it remains scary and ominous to many. But what if we looked at it in a different perspective? What if we looked at the relationship of Mother Earth and our own beings?
So here we have the idea of organic biodegradable coffins that will turn a person's remains into the nutrients for a beautiful tree to grow. This idea takes the idea of rebirth to an entirely new level. When you think about it, what good are all the billions of coffins we place in the ground doing to the Earth? They are simply taking up space for the Earth to replenish herself with more growth. We are left with cemeteries that only influence feelings of sorrow and not usually of happiness and peace. What if we could change all that? No longer would be have to visit our deceased loved ones surrounded by drab colors, gravestones, and only the occasional flowers and decorations. We would be able to make our visits in gorgeous remembrance forests filled with trees that represent the deceased. It would become a remembrance of respecting and giving back to the Earth that has both given us and provided us with our continuous lives. Simply, Mother Earth is not called that for no reason. She gives us the oxygen, the food, the water, and all the other necessities we need to live. So why wouldn't we want to give back to this amazing and remarkable life source?
