Let's talk. Let's talk about things from the inside. Let's share perspectives and ideas.
Coming and going...
Most conceptions are unexpected.
Few births are convenient.
Life rarely begins as rural idyll;
complete with deodorised shepherds,
confused followers of heavenly light and angel hosts.
But, even lacking such tableaux,
each new life is incarnation of vital Spirit
and a declaration of hope.
All life is a puzzlement;
a random mix of purpose and happenstance
of which we make but little sense.
And death is mystery
that always comes too soon.
You might think that something so commonplace
might attract more timely attention.
But if we live with the End-Point in mind, is it truly possible to fully enjoy all that 'now' offers? Because a focus on a Destination creates tunnel-vision at the exclusion of 'else'. But a focus on PURPOSE allows for every iota of "present", "potential" and "possibility" to be fully recognised, encountered, enveloped and responded to, with conscious commitment to that Purpose. Besides, death is only rebirth anyway.

A good point! Thanks for offering it.
