Falling Leaves

While looking at the beautiful yellow/orange leaves falling to the ground, I couldn't help thinking about the imminent end of the trees'  yearly life cycle. They will remain still, apparently lifeless, during a well-deserved period of rest. But their life doesn't end: on the contrary, it will slowly regain strength and vitality till time will come for a new beginning, for a new birth in the shape of buds first, flowers next and, finally, the triumph of luscious green foliage. As Nature follows the same patterns in all its manifestations (just think of fractals, holographic images, the Fibonacci sequence), in a never-ending repetition of itself, is it possible that also human life can re-live in new 'editions' of itself, beside the individual natural offspring?
