The universe is a big, complicated place, life is rarely as straight forward as you’d expect, and if we were ever to tear the veil between the realms of the living and the dead, Halloween 2020 seems like a fairly likely time for it. Rather than pulling out the plot from Ghostbusters II, DenMother has released a video for “Is It Greener?” which suggests that life, instead, is cyclical, repeatable, and full of lesson.
