It's just a thought. Move on....
I love growing things. We don't have the garden that we once had. I'm only growing an assortment of tomatoes. I didn't create the tomatoes. Although I did put them in the ground and tended them, it only needed the conditions to be right for them to grow their fruit.Just like a fire. When the conditions are right, ignition, fuel, oxygen. Then a fire can start. Where was the fire before the ignition? After the fuel or oxygen is depleted, where does the fire go?
Are we like the tomato or the fire? When conditions were right, were we a seed and egg that grew in our mother's womb? Did we exist before the conditions were right? After the fruit of our lives comes forth, after our fuel or oxygen is depleted, do we still exist?

Sorry, to continue, this is what I tell her. I tell her our souls come from God and are then rooted in the body that growns in the whomb. I tell her that as we get older (like her Great Grandma) our body starts to get weak, tired, and dies. Although our bodies go back into the Earth, our souls go back to God (whatever God may be). Also, energy is something that although it can change forms, it never ceases.
Justrose - It's like I always tell you. Old souls think alike!
GemII - In Taosim, there is a balance of energies and energies never cease; they just change form. I often think that we try hard to attach definition to things that are beyond definition....and this is the point of Zen.
