To be embraced. Joyfully.

Strange, isn’t it? I’m not religious.  Yet I believe in a spiritual afterlife. For everyone. Makes me a positive-thinking optimist. A believer in spirituality. Yes, life can be spiritual. Without having religious links or connotations. Life is life. And life comes with a spiritual element/strain. True life has a s spiritual depth to it.  Not physical. A spiritual soul. Takes time getting used to it. Some don’t. Until they fully escape the physical realm. Presto. Alas, the spirit is free. No more physical restraints. No more dementia. No more physical albatrosses. Hampering one’s movements and one’s mind. Yes, that’s the way I see true life. Life that goes beyond religion. Ultimately, we all become aware of our spirits. The spirit is there. Living inside us. Right now. There to be embraced. Joyfully. --Jim Broede
