One Life
...but we get to share it.
It takes more than time. It also takes more than a supple mind and a satchel made heavy by life experience. It takes even more than your failure to love, or become something other than a stoic witness to birth and death. It takes a conversion, a reclamation of the holy, and wholly innocent, spirit who bravely accompanied you on your journey into this world and now resides at the core of your human being. The spirit wants nothing more than for you to experience God everywhere and in everything. You and me and everyone else are the simple poets, singing from the fossil record this universal truth: One Life.
