What man can truly know the wonder of childbirth? What woman
the bond of brothers forged in battle or the lessons from being a despotic and
noble leader in the same life? The lessons of the world traveler or someone who
happily spends their life within walking distance of their birthplace, of being born into affluence, opportunity and entitlement or
poverty and perceived limitation in a
single life? Of a loving family and the orphan, the
lessons learned from a life of excess and hedonism and one of selfless service,
living as an ascetic? Of unshakeable faith and abject atheism? Who could
possibly learn these lessons and so many more in a mere 70-80 years? And are
not all these lessons and more required in our wonderful spiritual growth? God
is not limited by flesh or time and are we not children of the most high? Does
the flesh, which is by design ephemeral, define us or does our eternal Divine self hood?
