” Every atom you posse has almost certainly passed through several stars and been part of millions of organisms on its way to becoming you. We are each so atomically numerous and so vigorously recycled at death that a significant number of our atoms- up to a billion for each of us, it has been suggested - probably once belonged to Shakespeare.  A billion from Buddha and Genghis Khan and Beethoven, and any other historical figure you care to name. So we are all reincarnations - though short-lived ones. when we die our atoms will disassemble and move off to find uses elsewhere - as part of a leaf or other human being or drop of dew. “
