- A body that rusts and returns to decay Within the irreversible time of oxidation, matter wavers Where does the soul go? We return to the earth

-Prologue
We love the earth, flowers, trees, and animals,
for we know that one day we too shall return to the earth and become part of them.
To age, to rust—these are beautiful acts.
They are the natural passages through which all things return to the soil.
Their traces remain, quietly and peacefully,
always accompanying life.
