Forasmuch as it hath pleased Almighty God of his great mercy to take unto himself the soul of our dear brother here departed, we therefore commit his body to the ground; earth to earth, ashes to ashes, dust to dust; in sure and certain hope of the Resurrection to eternal life, through our Lord Jesus Christ; who shall change our vile body, that it may be like unto his glorious body, according to the mighty working, whereby he is able to subdue all things to himself. [source BOOK OF COMMON PRAYER]

…that phrase, above, is what many of us have grown up with. This understanding that we are (somehow nothing more than) dust and to dust is what we return, upon our passing. But the more I think about it, the more I realise this is not a dust planet and we are not dust but

and this is a very important distinction. Water carries life on this planet, not death. It's the place from where we're all born. And it's the place we all go to when we die. We're never a dead part of a dust planet and we're always a part of a living water planet. I mean, obviously, there's a real advantage being a living part of a Water Planet.

You're here because the Water Planet wants it. You're here because the Water Planet needs it. You're here because you have an integral role to play in the running of this Water Planet. You're even born into this world via water, the water of your mother's womb. Everything is water; you, your birth place, your memory place.

I don't even know what that role is, so don't ask me. I just know. Know. That this world being made of water and our being made of water is no coincidence. We are made for each other. We are one and the same being. I have no idea what the interface might be or how we activate this connection.

Star to Star, Earth to Earth, Water to Water – is it possible to remote-jumpstart life on another planet?
