NEW: As Roseline Mgbodichinma Anya Okorie mourns the death of her aunt, she is drawn to the properties of the ugu plant, a vine creeping from death to life. "My aunt has been gone longer than it takes to plant ugu in the soil and watch it germinate. If her corpse were an ugu seedling lowered into the ground, we would expect a rebirth in seven to fourteen days. This kind of resurrection will not make us run away in fear, but it will take away grief, make us confident in the business of living again. Among ugu plants, resuscitation is possible; dead ugu plants can come back to life. Maybe only such plants can belong in the world."
