Expressions of Life

Expressions of Life: 

the core message, in most everything I write, is that we're expressions of life, an aspect of worth and charm, but in no way separate and living apart from the source. It's here that I feel a distinction must be made, with the source being life itself, not a far off heaven of our creation, simply here and right now, that each moment we appear from mystery. This is the basics of reality and anything else is speculation and story - we know only our aliveness, that we're aware, a certain sense of being present. Our stories help inform us of the world, yet aren't absolute in any true value. They're always upgraded for a better understanding of the world and even greater achievements in science and technology. But stories still through every telling. 

here's the important factor, the key words above are that we're expressions of life - though it often seems that we take our place with more self importance and less humility than deserved. Somehow we've gained the belief that we are masters of the world's domain, not aspects of life, but of greater value than anything else. This is the idea of being a self, a separate identity of our own apart from other aspects of life. With this we no longer feel nor believe ourselves as an expression of life, unique in present beauty and merit. We now measure our worth by accumulation of status, money, power symbols of our importance that have little meaning once that particular story is gone. This isn't to dismiss any of our achievements, nor to ignore the importance of any of these things within our present story. 

it's simply to urge us to remember who we really are.

that we're expressions of life, aspects of equal value to every other expression now appearing too - and all in such beauty, a symmetry of life in fullness and pleasure of being expressed. We are not the grand creators here, no part of this display of life is of our doing. But we belong to it, an aspect of the whole affair, and that's our greatest value yet...

life, 

expressed exactly as we are. 

perfect.
