How wonderful is life's first breath, as consciousness floods the mind with its first waking thought, a divine union of Spirit and flesh; a life being born.
A cry, a wail! The unfamiliarity overwhelms the newborn babe, as wonder and elation contrast with fear and confusion; such a rush of emotion, too overwhelming to be contained.
How delicately stimulating is the mother's touch, as she caresses her child, closely to her warmed chest. The infant naps; peacefully dreaming, heart thumping, lungs filled with air. The innocence; so pure and vibrant as to create an atmosphere of transcendence.
Oh! How beautifully mysterious, how undeniably purposed; the Breath of Life granting sentience, as a gift ever-giving. A life being born, this divine union of Spirit and flesh; this new life being born.

It's incredible to think that that was me once.
ReplyDeleteWhen you put it that way, it's almost a shame that we so take for granted the indwelt Spirit granting us life, if you'll allow me to say it much more prosaically.
