Knowing the Wonder, Who is My Body?

Within the light that Easter gifts to us, we are faced with the great oppertunity to expand our relationship with our God, our Universe, our Creator. We are given the chance to acknowledge that we are co-creators of our own life, of our own destiny, and when we accept into our hearts the responsibility of honoring the light, we can truly accomplish great things.  Please find below an inspirational message that keeps me anchored with my Creator.

Knowing the Wonder, Who is My Body?

by Flora Slosson Wuellner

I am your friend and closest partner. Sometimes I am your mother and father. Sometimes I am your child. Always I am your lover and spouse.
I am the truth-teller. I witness to your your unknown self.
I am the faithful messenger and recorder of your memories, your powers, your hurts, your needs, your limits.
I am the stored wisdom and hurts of the ages and generations before you.
I am a gift giver. Through me, you live and move in God's creation. Through me you have your vital link with the rejoicing, groaning, travailing universe.
I am your partner in stress and pain. I carry much of your suffering so your spirit does not need to carry it all alone.
I am the frontier you have barely explored and the eager companion who speaks to you every moment.
I am the manifestation of the miracle, which is you. I am the ground of your deep powers.
I am the microcosm of the community that surrounds you. I am the microcosm of the universe in which you live.
I am the visible means by which you relate and unite with others.
I am one of the major ways by which God abides with you, speaks to you, touches you, unites with you. Far from seperating you from your spiritual life, I open it for you.
You can pray with me, for me, through me. I can pray also in my own way, when you cannot.
I am always in embrace with you, though sometimes you ignore me or even hate me and try to harm me.
I will never leave you. I will be with you after death as your risen companion of clearer light and swifter energy in a different form. Only my outer appearance dies.
Together, in a passionate unity, we will become a fully alive human being.
