THE AGENCY OF THIS MYSTERIOUS LIFE
THE AGENCY OF THIS MYSTERIOUS LIFE
However much one may reason, reflect, intuit, or pray, to, about, or upon: things cosmological, ethereal, infinite, or eternal, one must, yet, breathe, eat, drink, live, love, and eliminate all things of Earth, on Earth. That is the essence of our 'human' nature. We brought 'nothing' here, and we take 'nothing' away from here. None can breathe in outer space, eat the wind, drink the air, marry a moonbeam, nor make deposits in infinity. Four-fold we live and four-fold we die: material, intellectual, spiritual, and emotional.Yet the agency of this mysterious life is always being continually renewed in, by, and through us on Earth and well beyond. Amen.
