Now I dont believe in reincarnation or karma, but on a sleepless night in the heat I started to think aout what I would like to come back as if I had any choice. Its a while since we had a new thread to add our thoughts to. To be truthful at the moment I feel like a brown shrivelled husk due to the relentless heat, Anyway after contemplating lots of beautiful creatures, I decided I would really like to come back as a huge"mother " tree in some far distant forest, where chainsaws  are forbidden. A tree growing for hundreds of years, connecting to all the other trees of the forest through the rhizomes of fungi which connect them all, pass on messages, threats, support etc. In fact if I could be an Ent ( as in Lord of the R ings,then that would be even better, then I could squash to destructive machinery of man as soon as it was heard) . The whole new science of trees, fungi, connections and the wood wide web is endlessly fascinating - we know so little and yet are learning so much ( well some people are, others like far too many politicians and public are oblivious to our interconnectedness to the rest of nature) If you are interested, I highly reccomnet Merlin Sheldrake's " Entangled life".

I never gave a thought to coming back as a human

    Hi OBS,

    I would come back as a bird, my little budgie has a very nice life.

    A few years ago, I read books about Amy Winehouse, and read separate books by both her mother and father. Surprisingly to me, I enjoyed the dad's book best. At the end of the book, after Amy's death, he tells of a black bird and butterfly that followed them/wanted to be with them and would not be put off. The picture of these creatures is the emblem of the Amy Winehouse foundation, which helps young people with addiction. Just thought it was a lovely story.

  • Hi OBS, 

    I love your idea of coming back as a mother tree with all the interconnections, but I also like the idea of being a soaring bird, but if I can come back once I can come back many times, so I'm making a list. So far I have

    1. Bumblebee, because I love them
    2. Wood ant, it would be interesting to live in that sort of community
