What man can truly know the wonder of childbirth? The bond of brothers forged in battle by those who have never stood the line? How many can learn the lessons of
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 or
living as an ascetic? Of unshakable belief and abject atheism? Who could
possibly learn these lessons and so many more in a single life? And
are
not all these lessons and more part or our wonderful spiritual journey?
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? As flesh we are limited, as Spirit, children of the
miraculous we are unlimited, timeless, in truth, immortal. This body,
made of star stuff, comes with an expiration date, you and I however, do
not.
