This is so unintelligent and childish of me but we just watched this movie and so…. It’s the CIRCLE OF LIFE!

But you're not wrong.

You are helping me to value a more minimalistic style in your writings through the refreshing lack of pretension and the authentic commitment to audience awareness. I will be pondering the haunting beauty of “and how time unwinds a body / that was never ours” for many days to come aesthetically & spiritually.

I love this. It seems more beautiful to return to earth rather than be embalmed. Thank you for the wonderful evocative images in your words.

Ashes to ashes. Dust to dust. Beautifully crafted in your words.

This is really gorgeous, atmospheric, and inspiring. The poetic handling of "dust" is, I think, a litmus test for great writing. So biblically expansive, yet also vanishingly quiet and simple. In short, beautiful!
