"The stone comes first, then the tree, and then, at some point, only then comes the human being.
It's the same the other way around. I am the next to go.
Then the trees that we have planted in the garden, the cherry and walnut trees.
And at some point, even the stone will pass away.
Crumbles. Turns to soil."
