A long time ago I think I posted this video, but since I've been thinking about it recently, I thought I'd post it again.
I once read about a Buddhist meditation where you were asked to contemplate your own demise and visualize the decomposition of your body. Well, that's very serious stuff and I wasn't quite ready for that, so instead I thought I'd start with a loaf of bread. Bread, of course!
The idea was to take a fresh loaf and leave it unattended by the front door. Not a good idea. The first few days were fine, but soon the bread attracted some very nasty flies, and when I opened the door, the flies would come into the house. It only got worse.
The bread began to smell like carrion, and the mail carrier refused to deliver the mail. Finally, my wife made it quite clear. The bread goes or she goes.
The bread went, but (hee hee) not very far. I took it out to my section of the garden. No animal would touch it, so there it stayed, decaying into oblivion for over a year. You can see the video here.
