I have yet to bloom.

I am physical. More so than spirit. Though I yearn to be more spirit than physical. I am becoming. More and  more spirit. That may be the mission of physical life.  To slowly edge into the spiritual. One needs to be physical. For a time. In order to grasp the spiritual. The contrast. The difference. Between night and day. The physical and the spiritual. One cannot fully appreciate the one without the other. In my youth, I was almost totally physical. And then I began to discover the spirit. Only then did I start to feel genuinely alive. I have yet to bloom. --Jim Broede
