Just a Thought

Could this life just be a dress rehearsal for a weary soul?
Do we travel thru so many lives until we meet our goal?
Perhaps our massive egos are adept at deceiving.
Should we mourn when a person is born
and celebrate their leaving?

Hi Curie, I've heard that but it does seem a bit slanted if we are to be responsible in this life for something we did in another life. Doesn't it? Thanks for weighing in on this one Curie.

This is quite thought provoking, Nancy, it is an original take to reverse the usual customs~

Hi Michelle, I truly appreciate your weighing in on this thought which obviously is not an original one. I'm a Christian but as an adult have been influenced by my meditation and the three trips I took to an ashram in India. We are such a diverse world and I just like to keep it open to all beliefs and different perspectives. Have a blessed day!!
