I think one interesting aspect of this book that plays out early on is the concept of animals possessing souls. What do you guys think? Do all animals have souls, or do we reserve that kind of thinking for more "household" animals? Or any animals at all?
It's always nice to imagine that at the end of life I'll find myself seeing all those great pets I've had and loved over the years, but what about all the other animals? Should I expect to see the soul of the sushi I ate last night? Just a thought.

Very interesting question! I've always thought that my pets had souls, but I never really thought about other animals. If one believes pets have souls then one must believe all animals have souls. If Heaven is as beautiful as this planet, it seems like it must have some of the flora and fauna. However, maybe it is a completely different kind of beauty that we've never seen.
