The Human Form

The human form some might likely say is a severely flawed form. And deeper down the rabbit hole you go, you find out some very scary things about the human form; and perhaps our place in the universe. 


But I posit that the human form is a still a life giving form capable of being our vehicle materially and spiritually and creatively— something much bigger than ourselves. 


Writing; music; the silver screen; giant cathedrals; stunning paintings; ferrovitrious architecture (skyscrapers); voluntary association (corporations: services and goods and innovation for so many); plastics; computers.


And as vessels for the spiritual. Or transcendence: a new level of intelligence and real magic. 


I posit that these bodies—and perhaps our souls—are on two simultaneous journeys: perhaps one that is not ideal; but also one that is magnificent.  I posit that we are very lucky; that we are very blessed; that we are very capable.
