-- In the Presence of Spirit --

John Herlihy

 

We are the drops

In the sea of humanity.

We are the flame

In the blaze of the fire.

We are the clay

In the ground of the earth.

We are the breath

In the spirit of the wind.

We are the star

In the mystery of the firmament.

We are the moon

In the darkness of the night.

We are the tides

That forever ebb and flow.

We are the trees

That reaches for the heavens.

We are the flower

The smiles in the morning.

With are the storm

That frowns in the evening.

We are the day

In the brightness of light.

We are the evening

In the darkness of night.

We are the body

With caverns in the heart.

We are the heart

With passage into the soul.

We are the soul

In the presence of Spirit.

THE SPIRIT IS WHAT GIVES THE SOUL LIFE. WITHOUT THE SPIRIT WE...BODY AND SOUL... ARE NOTHING! THANKS FOR SHARING. MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU! LOVE, BLESSINGS AND FAITH...HIS+INSPIRATIONS

Yes, we have spirit that leads us every day. Through our spirit, we communicate using words in many languages with many nuances, including the unspoken body movements that give us away. But we are part of a larger world where many animals also possess the spirit to communicate with one another in many ways helping them navigate their worlds. Spirit begets survival.

Yes.... "We are" all that, and even more, when we are standing in the light of the Creator. Thought-provoking John. Much appreciated. Holiday blessings. rlc
