It's the Body That's the Soul


It's the body that's the soul: 

really, it's the body that's the soul, or as much part of it as any ethereal spirit might be, being that it's a true home made of the elements created by dying stars and the expansion of the universe itself. The body is what we are in a very real way, earth dust breathed to life, a creation of exquisite beauty and precise function - we are bodies infused with soul, not separate in anyway, but belonging fully to our home here, to life itself...to creation.

it's the body that's the soul. 

and if we think of rebirth than it's the body that's reformed, elements near immortal in their use, already here for an eternity, particles that once gave form to ancestors, ancient structures, and further still, even before space and time existed, just a singularity compressed of infinite energy - there was the potentiality of our bodies, the raw material of our creation, and the very soul of our existence. In some form...we've been here all along. 

so how could we not honor the body, see it as soul and immortal in it's own way? We are embodied in the truest sense, nothing but life, elements of light that once burned as stars, and now burn brightly as our bodies - we are universe, earth, creative dust and clay. We're everything, our bodies have been been every speck of creation at some point in time, molecules existing now, lending themselves as our present form, have been around since a single cell crawled from an ocean;'s floor and sparked a creative evolution. Our bodies are more than possibly imagined, they're timeless in their way, temporary in form, but ongoing as the soul of our existence. 

yes, it's the body that's the soul.
