🌱 The Garden

poem

And maybe...

that's the part — that fascinates me the most.

that's the part
that fascinates me the most.
We spend our lives believing
that we are human bodies
occasionally having
spiritual experiences.
But what if
we have that backward?
What if we are spirits...
having the temporary experience
of being human?
What if consciousness
is actually the traveler?
And the body
is simply the room
we live in for a while?
If that's true...
then maybe the spirits
who visit me at night
aren't traveling
some impossible distance.
Maybe they're simply
on the other side
of something very thin.
Something we can't normally see.
And maybe...
in their own way...
they're reminding me:
You are more than this body.
You were more before it.
And you will be more after it.
