The Human Life Experience

THE HUMAN LIFE EXPERIENCE

Humans have the unique opportunity to not only live, but to experience . . .

Gold in the rays of sunshine which nourish life;

Silver in the raindrops which water the Earth;

Awe in the weightless paper wings of a bright orange butterfly;

Hymns in the soft snore of a faithful dog;

Moonbeams stored up in the firefly's glow and gently released from the Luna moth's wings;

Lullabies in the distant, metered call of a Barn Owl somewhere in the darkness and a strange but pleasant sense of order when his mate softly responds;

Miracles exploding from the lungs of a newborn child;

Regeneration in spring's first blooms;

Peace in the tiniest crinkle of snowflakes as they collide in midair;

Joyfulness in the giggles of little children as their parents pretend they don't see them hiding behind the curtains -- again;

Sweetness dripping from Heaven in the dewy green grass of a spring morning;

Flames leaping from the torches of a red hot poker growing happily neglected in the corner of the old Home place;

A sense of belonging in the lichen-covered lettering of an immigrant ancestor's headstone;

Intention in the Fibonacci sequence and its presence throughout nature;

Order in the chaos of the stars that twinkle brightly on a cold, clear autumn night;

Delight in the rainbow of colors that paint the sky at sunset and again at sunrise;

And a sense of wonder at how it all came to be . . .
