Meditations On The Soul's Journey Through Matter

Meditations On The Soul's Journey Through Matter

I

A mountain
rising high above the plain.
We approach
by a winding path
that wanders hither an yon.
From the path
we catch only fleeting glimpses
of the summit.

II

A city
whose dancing lights
sparkle in the midnight darkness,
but whose streets
are strewn with the bodies of dead cats
beneath the noonday sun.

III

The warble of a sparrow
coming from the throat of a vulture.

IV

Teh purr of a lion
coming from the throat of a house cat.

V

The song of death
emanating from the cathedral of life.

VI

The spirit journeys from reality to reality!
Moving forward--
from conception to birth
from birth to deat--
it enters
the Mercy of God
and dwells in the spiritual realm,.
Where
it is free of the physical,
but never free of its choices.
