"I, and many others, have pondered the reason for our existence. It even drives some to madness trying to find the answer. Honestly, I believe we’ll never truly find the answer, we have to strive to find the beauty in what’s here. Around us, the cycle of life and death happens in every aspect and scale of life.  From the tiniest animal to the tallest tree, and even humans, none are safe from the cycle. In truth, it is one of my greatest fears. But I believe that to truly appreciate life, you have to also learn to appreciate death for all it is. 

True beauty is only found in death. When something dies, their body becomes nutrients for the flowers and animals in the area from which new life emerges. That is where I have found my beauty. This piece is my attempt at trying to find my peace with the inevitable."
