Eternal, Infinite and Always Okay

There is no beginning and no end.   Time is our invention.  Nature does not care about what year it is. A tree does not worry how old it is.  We worry because we think.  Thought is a blessing but can be a burden.

We know that we are born and that our physical body dies. We do not know beyond that and so we accept life as a linear experience with a start and a finish. But I don't think that this is really true. Nothing in nature really does have that finite existence.  It revolves.



Consider water.  There is never any "new" water.  Water simply exists and then changes form from.  It evaporates into gas, then rises and falls again as water - over and over again always.   A plant withers, absorbs into the ground and nurtures new seeds that will grow and so on.

Why would we think that we are any different than this most perfect cycle? We are created sure, but was there an actual moment or do we simply need to think of it as a "moment" of creation in order to wrap our physical mind around it? And did divine inspiration ignite that explanation in order to comfort us and bring us peace? And if so, that's wonderful but let us not overlook the miraculous magnitude of wonder and joy in the infinite and eternal perfection of the perfect circle that knows no end.  And deep down we can remember that we are more magnificent than a start and a finish.

We don't "end".  We change form, beautifully and wonderfully.
Why? Because we are formed of the earth and we need the earth and the earth needs us.  Nature is a God creation and God dwells in our being.  We are more God than we are physical. God is always.  The alpha and the omega, eternal, without beginning or end.  We change.

Knowing that, then we know that everything will be okay.

Everything will be okay.
