Looking at the present through the window of the past. The old fort where I'm standing will cease to exist one day. But right now it's here and from here I can see the present turning into future.

When a match is struck, a fire being with a soul, which may one day be reborn in a human body is born only to die a few moments afterwards. In every drop of rain, in every breath of wind, in every lump of clay is a living soul."
