Day 26: Reincarnation

I'm sorry I didn't do Day 25's task yet...I mean, I've done it, but it's just going to take a while to type out and I...just don't really have a lot of time to do that right now. I promise I will get that up in the next few days.

But onto today's task. We were supposed to think about what we would be reincarnated as once we "pass on," and then write a letter to the Dalai Lama requesting what we want. I really wish I had more time to think about this, because there are SO many options...but, I think if I were to become an animate object, I would become a dog. Dogs are always so happy, always trying to please their owners (usually), and just are so care-free. There's always the chance though that I could be reincarnated into one that's abused or something. That would suck. So, I think I would choose to be a night sky. Here is my letter to the Dalai Lama:

Dear Mr. Lama,

Once I pass on, could you please put in a good word for me to become a night sky? Wait, do you control that? Sorry, I'm not sure how this whole process works, but nonetheless, I would like to be reincarnated as a night sky once I die. Night skies are so peaceful to me, and I think being one would be even more peaceful. Being able to look down at the earth, at every single country and every single person everywhere, and just see them admiring me and looking up to me with amazement. No one hates a beautiful starry night sky either. No one. Who can judge a night sky or criticize it? What is there to criticize? It would be the most freeing experience, I would literally be weightless and just...totally content. I could look down at people watching me from the beaches, or a couple lying in the grass together in an empty field...stars and night skies are also associated with romance. Just staying in the sky forever and never having to worry about a single thing would be amazing. Thank you for considering my request.

Sincerely,

Betty
