COMPETITIVE SPIRITS? - OR WHAT?

If you are easily offended, forgive me, but this is a true glimpse of my thoughts.

As I lay they, before I’d even opened my eyes, sort of between being asleep and awake first thing in the morning, with thoughts flitting briefly through my mind, one thought in particular loitered longer than the rest and tarried awhile.

It was all brought about from something I’d read the day before, of how people used to bury a dead body, a donkey, dog, anything like that, to use the body as a fertiliser to produce abundant grapes with.

Then it occurred to me that it wouldn’t bother me in the least if my body fed a vine when I died.

It’s a bit too late to be bothered isn’t it? After all, when you’re dead, you’re dead, aren’t you? It’s not as if I’d care much then anyway!

Then I thought of a graveyard, with all those bodies just lying there rotting and doing nothing; you know, ashes to ashes, dust to dust, and all that.

My next thought was it was such a waste. I kept thinking of the grapes that would grow in a place like that! My mouth was watering with these thoughts.

Perhaps there should be a competition with having everyone who is in there having a vine planted nearby, so the one who produced the best grapes would receive…..

Nahhh….. It wouldn’t work, would it?

Next fleeting topic…..

Til next time,
