The Soul of It All Mankind’s creation and existence are by the hand and intention of Almighty God in Heaven above. God endowed His divine creation with the gifts of contemplation, sympathy, and a realistic empathy. The immortal soul of mankind has proved to be that magnificent essence of each man and woman. The soul of it all defines the whole of each of us in God’s eyes as we seek to understand ourselves. We each take what we know and seek to define our existence in the vast darkness of the eternal cosmos. Prayer, reflection, and an earnest attempt in seeking to understand all that is unknown reflect who we are. God knew with His creation of us in His divine image that we possessed the true desire to persevere above all. Amen. Gary Bateman, Copyright © All Rights Reserved November 8, 2020 (Lyric)

Like a Sunday morning, sometimes seems very dark but rays of light do return that's true. Interesting poem of contemplation

Hello Linda, Many Thanks for you read here of "The Soul of It All." I really do hope that whenever darkness ends up engulfing us from time-to-time, that the rays of light and redemption return to clear the darkness out. We can only pray and hope so. Cheers and Best Wishes, Gary
