“I like to think about the first law of thermodynamics; that no energy in the universe is created and none is destroyed. That means that every bit of energy inside us – every particle – will go on to be a part of something else; maybe live as a dragonfish, a microbe, maybe burn in a supernova. And every part of us now was once a part of some other thing – a moon, a storm cloud, a mammoth, a monkey…thousands and thousands of other beautiful things that were just as terrified to die as we are. We gave them new life. A good one, I hope.”
