Gift...

May 05




Our Body, which we take so much for granted
is a miraculous creation and a pure gift of Nature
and we have a sacred duty
to care for and treat with respect
at all times and in all situations.

How can it not be a pure gift of Nature
when it was created without our guidance
or our conscious participation
other than the initial union of our parents.

Created by bodily fluids which we humans
can neither rule, construct or create
and its very development and sustenance
solely depends upon the endless sacrifice
of other of Nature's creatures
whether animals, plants, minerals or water.

If we stop for a minute and consider this concept very carefully
and the depth of its importance especially since without it
we cannot experience this life as we know it
-and it is the only one we know-
isn't it apparent that we have a duty
if nothing else to ourselves at least
to respect it for what it is, for what it means
and what it does for us, right from our birth
and to the day we cannot longer take it with us?...
