Life Is a Parable

Now you see it, and now you don’t. This is life. Life in the world is peek-a-boo. And yet you are surprised. Every time, you are surprised. Life in the world is a magic trick, dear ones. Often life has you fooled.
 
Life itself is eternal. You are eternal. And you are more. You are also Infinite. There are no two ways about it. Only on Earth are there in’s and out’s and wherefores and why-fores.
 
Life is like a novel you read. In life, you turn the pages. There is always a new page, and you wonder what the next page will reveal. Life on Earth is indeed a page-turner.
 
Life is an exercise. It is an exercise in patience. Life is an expedition you find yourself on. You flex your muscles and crack your knuckles. You are a runner, so to speak, and you are a messenger. You are also the message and the whole process of sending and receiving messages. You are the whole show! This has to be so, for you are Oneness as I am Oneness.
 
How did you get here and onto the stage of The Greatest Show on Earth? You may not even have a clue as to what you’re supposed to be doing. For all you know, you are in a maze, and you have no idea how you got in or how to get out. The exit is named Go Beyond. You further yourself in the world. Produce, invite, and exult in happiness. Life is indeed a process, and you are the processor of your own life – and others’ lives as well. You are on a wheel that you turn. You hold on. You centrifuge life even as life comes as a surprise to you. May you have many happiness-providing surprises. Exalt your life. It’s not like you run life through the grinder.
 
You and life run off together, as it were. You elope together. In any case, you are married. You pledged your troth. You both said, “I do.” The vows were different from wedding vows, yet still, come what may, you never do part. Life on Earth seems like one incident after another. Life is ongoing, yet life is more than a collection of incidents. It is far more than a collection of anything. It is a sprouting. It is a bubbling. It is an eruption of the energy of life.
 
Certainly, life comes in different colors and textures and dimensions. This is one of the elements of life that interests you and sometimes grieves you. Life is a parade, and you are in it. You stand on the curb, and you watch the floats go by even as you are on one of the dashing floats passing by. You are a watcher of the parade that you are in. How can this be? Yet it is, so it must be. You are the rider, and you are the horse you ride. You are running a race in which you are on the sidelines. I cheer you, even as you know there is no race you have to win. We can say you win from the moment you took off in life.
 
Beloveds, there is no last chance. Life is more than chance, yet there are chances galore. It is not by chance that you are alive in this world. Whatever you partake in, give in, receive in – whatever you advance on is your free choice even as it is your destiny. Life is a parable.
 
And what a piece of pie life is. Life is on fire, and life puts out the fires as well. Underneath, life is steady, yet life doesn’t stay still. It’s always on the move. And you are moving it.
