I've been planning the bios-urn for a few years myself. I love the idea. I think I want a red maple though. With the climate getting warmer there will be more deciduous trees and those are beautiful. My son has promised me he would honor my wishes.

I think it is good if one finds themselves in canoe country or if they find God there. What is important is that they/we find a balance that hadn't been found before. My personal belief is that God is in all of us, so if you find yourself, you are also finding God.
