Ashes to Ashes, Dust to Dust

I performed an unintentional exercise in mortality awareness last week. What you see is all that will remain of me in the end, from a biological standpoint.

I was underwhelmed to say the least. All that hassle and this will be all that's left. Then I smiled, realizing that at least I'm recyclable. Plus, it's a healthy dose of humility. A reminder not to take myself too seriously.

Regardless of what you believe in, do remember to enjoy the journey, stop to reflect on your trip, and checkout the scenery.
