The Being

Once upon a time there was a being. A being with eyes that turned the sun into light and the space into darkness. A being that's soft hands gave roughness and texture to the bark of the trees. This was the first thinking being, capable of imagination and self-reflection. It was the first being truly gifted with the ability to contemplate it's place in the cosmos. It's contemplation took it across many dimensions of life and isles of existence. However, in this world of thought it got lost. It strayed too far from home and too far into the world of thought that it became disconnected from all other beings. The human became so caught up in thinking that it began thinking about thinking. It was in a matrix it had created for itself, a world separated from the real world. It thought so much that the only thing it was able to think of was thoughts...The human being forgot what it was like to feel and to love...
The human was created to think and to give meaning to life. But it was given an impossible task because the more it thought the less meaningful life seemed to become. And then one day this being was humbled by the might of the world and everything that he thought was important was taken away. The being became so caught up in all of it's anxieties and sadness as it saw it's whole world shattered...His world was shattered and yet in the midst of his suffering he felt a rising in his chest, he felt a touch of something he had never experienced before. The being felt the touch of life, not life as he thought it was, but instead life as it truly was. He entered a world that was pure and true. A world where he could be a kid again and enjoy the simple pleasures in life. NOW he understood. He was able to express himself and feel things as they were and not what they were thought to be. He was intimate with himself and through this he became intimate with life. The being saw how everything was connected in this beautiful harmony. He understood...He understood that we were made to be thinking beings in order to see that we are also emotional and spiritual beings. Beings that are connected to everything. And now when he walks, he knows, he is walking home.
