Full Circle

The past year brought me full circle. I was on the opposite side of the beginning and I came right back. It's been a shaky feeling to come back to see where I am now standing. I can comfortably see all around me, as if I am standing on a stump stuck in the middle of the sea. And I feel that circle on my back, like a hand of unconditional comfort. Life is a beauty that my rational mind is blind to. It is a like a light that we all must stand alone with. Although, we are all swimming in it's waters. Blessed be I step off the log, and enter the pathways of life. Life is shared between us all, it is like a father and we are his children. Now, I understand the many religions ideas about the God figure. But, it is a metaphor. The rational mind appreciates idols, which are in their own image ("God created us in his own image"). Yet, the spiritual nature of life on the planet, which is understood by humanity, is not known by this method of thought. Thinking about the roots of where our passions lay, we find the truth and light. It cannot be explained to another, but it can be talked about and discussed. It cannot be learned in a church or a philosophy classroom. It is outside of humanity, yet channeled through us. Like, the different sections of our brain, there are different rooms to the homes of our beings. I am one part divine being, and I am another part social human, and in between the two lives my heart, like a fireplace in my living room. I see this metaphor for all people, and their location of warmth is vital to our existence.
Some ask: Why do we exist, what is it for?
Even when the love and peace within us and between us is achieved, that answer will not come. It is a question without an answer, and there lies the wonderment, awe, often bewildered feeling that comes with life.
We are the embrace the unknown and laugh like children.
