My Voice

Many people believe that we chose our parents in the spirit world in order to give ourselves the lives we would need to learn the lessons we've yet to learn. Sometimes, I can't help but wonder if I did not just choose my parents but, rather, this entire reality. Are all of you here simply because my soul believed this is what must be in order for me to learn all I must learn? Did we all create this reality together in order to teach each other? What a magnificent miracle life is! No matter how we were created or how our destinies were planned, you can not deny the insurmountable number of lessons life offers us. Every moment is a rush of emotions and sensations - every breath, thought, and heartbeat a miracle. Happiness, pain, joy, sadness, love - every emotion so strong and so fantastic, whether we realize it right now. Our spirits were born in a world of everything but, perhaps, it was so much that we never had the opportunity to experience any of it. How do you notice anything when everything is always exactly the same? Perhaps this is why we are here. We were created to feel every sensation, experience every emotion - but with only so much at a time so we could really take it in. I find myself looking at the world with a sense of wonder I have no felt since I was a small child. Every time I touch a tree, I envision the networks of veins within it and feel the life surging through it. Every time I watch a bird take flight, I am fascinated by the idea of how it must feel to leave the solid world beneath you and soar into a universe all your own. Every time I reach my hand into water, I allow myself to focus on and experience every stream of the current within it. Why did it take me so long to realize how fantastic this world is? How can we deny the existence of magic when it is obvious that we are surrounded by it - were created out of it! Do you not see it? Stop for a moment... Close your eyes, reach up and feel your heart beat. Combine the science of your body with the spiritual miracle of your life and then you'll feel it - the magic that is you.
