Passing on the Flame

December 18th 2006 13:10

When oil is used to sustain a flame, even though the oil may be consumed, the flame can be transferred to another fuel and theoretically burn forever. Our bodies will die someday, but our spirit and thoughts can be passed on.

Nurturing life does not aim at preserving the body but at nourishing the spirit and soul.

Stress Alive
Man Lessons

I often wonder what happens to the non-tangible when the tangible expires. Though a perpetual mystery, I too assume that it absorbs in the larger collective bundle of energy.
