Our Ephemeral Essence

The Source of Our Being

The Essence of Life ...
Is Beyond the reach of words to define.
Words may be used,
Visions of Our Hearts may point to an Image,
But, these are only a shadow of Reality

Long Ago, In the Beginning,
Without Words,
the Artwork of Creation began.

Then, Our Minds and Senses brought Descriptions,
Symbols of Reality,
Words to Express Our Vision,

Their Source; the Passion of
Our Existence and Life.
With these words, and thoughts,
came Personality and difference.
and from these,
came our myriad Versions and Interpretations.

So, if One Person sees Life;
Controlled, with Passion subdued,
seeing "The Core of Life".

Or, if a Another Person sees Life;
Passionately, Subject to the Storms of
Human Emotions, and Dreams.
That Person Seeing perhaps
"The Surface of Life".

Between the Surface and the Core
there can be no ultimate superiority.
Judging One as prefered against the Other.


The Core and the Surface....
Are they not, but
two sides of a coin.
One has no real meaning without the Other.


Words, we have to discuss these differences,
everchanging understandings, and values
between us.


That such diverse states of Life,
are of the same Divine Creation,
is a great mystery indeed.

That Love and Compassion;
Can bind us to each other,
though our values and efforts be so different,
Can wash our imperfections from Our minds,
though some of them so great,
Is a Greater Mystery.
