Can we have the ego of a worm?
Happy Monday,
Yael

In Israel, the dead are wrapped in a white sheet and buried directly in the ground. That is how I imagined myself buried. Well, in New York state this is considered a "green burial" and the cemetary we went to doesn't offer it. So I will be buried in New York in a casket! I settled on a simple wood casket so at least I know that,...
