Blogger Marilyn Nielson discusses the complexities of life's journey. She talks about the “cycle of selves,” the constant changes we experience as we go throughout this journey here on earth – learning, growing, maturing, and changing in our capabilities – increasing as we grow from baby to adult and then decreasing due to age and/or disease.
Says Nielson – “I can imagine myself setting off on this mortal journey, feeling excited and apprehensive all at once, and probably mostly clueless about what was to come. And now here I still am, holding on dutifully to the tiny bits of knowledge I've gained, bracing myself for the unknowns ahead, hopeful and trusting, but yes, just the slightest bit terrified as well—not sure about what's coming next …. So we keep pressing on.”
Yes, we do press on with trust, faith, and hope in the life that comes after this one.
