Abstract
Because of the fear of one’s own death, or because of the grief suffered by those who remain alive, the quick and the dead are at antipoles in the minds of man. Yet, life and death continuously interreact in the living world. In these times when food comes in cans or plastic bags with colours, shapes and sometimes tastes far removed from the original product, it is easy to forget that man kills the cows who eat the grass in the green pasture, or that the salmon swim upstream to the Kodiak shallow lakes to spawn and ultimately become the prey of bears, eagles and foxes. Animal life thrives on other forms of life.
