EMBODY


AMUSING MUSINGS:
Micro Tale #390: "EMBODY" by Leon Enriquez
(Dedication: For my grandson Axel Caleb, 100-day old on 18 June 2018)

~~~~~~~~~
I am a recent incarnation in this lifetime of ample possibilities. I embody a transient passage of mortality in the world of matter. Yet, I am somewhat configured to be in-between the realms of the spiritual and the physical.
~~~~~~~~~
I embody the miracle of love with faith and hope on an earthly quest. I am the forerunner of enigma, paradox and transcendence. I am the gift and the present in the here and now moment.
~~~~~~~~~
I am the child precursor to the man. And I embody the hopes and dreams of life's longing for itself. I have come in search of love, beauty and truth in a strange world of transitory desires.
~~~~~~~~~
I am a human being with an immortal soul incarnated in a living body of flesh and blood endowed exceedingly with the breath of life. I am an undying spark of life descending upon the world of matter to experience this earthly calling and revelation.
~~~~~~~~~
I am the dream within the dream. I awaken to the unlimited potential of the creative flow. I inhabit a dualistic world where almost anything is possible.
~~~~~~~~~
So, once again, I must slowly and surely awake to a certain awareness of my sojourn in this mortal sphere. My creative imagination propels me to leap from dream to dream only to realise another dream. This disturbs my baby mind and I often have crying bouts to help me cope with my fledgling composure.
~~~~~~~~~
Call me a baby with a potential to cause abrupt disruption in the mundane affairs of the chosen family that has conceived me, and now harbours my good intentions.
~~~~~~~~~
No doubt that my human parents have been instrumental in the formation of my physical body. But I alone am responsible -- by the choice of my free will -- to incarnate here as a living soul enmeshed in this sacred space called my human body.
~~~~~~~~~
I was born screaming and shouting to catch my breath as I was released from my dear mother's womb where my amazing body was crafted as a miraculous inner astronaut. I was born in full-term as a baby weighing about three kilograms.
~~~~~~~~~
I witnessed the amazement in my parents' eyes. And I saw the vivid intensity of emotional rapture in my grandparents' countenance as they beheld my fragile, tiny body for the first time. Ever since that day, I am a secret witness to their outpouring of unconditional love for me.
~~~~~~~~~
I sparkle with hope in their hearts and minds. I feel this. They feel this too. Each of these individual souls know their place in my eyes. And I realise, in my baby ways, the lavish love that surrounds me each day. Love is truly the light that shines to make the darkness bright.
~~~~~~~~~
I cannot yet understand, decipher, or speak their language. But I understand the language of touch and feeling, emotions and affection. I am the clear witness to the amusing ways they try to shower love and tender affection.
~~~~~~~~~
They -- these adult figures -- look rather silly in their facial antics. I am aware that they always try to amuse me. They conjure faces and invent peculiar sounds to attract my attention.
~~~~~~~~~
I am gradually bonding with these loving people who cuddle, love and protect my holy innocence. When I chuckle and smile or make gurgling baby sounds, I notice their happy delight. After all, a face like a picture tells a thousand words!
~~~~~~~~~
I am grateful to be incarnated in these auspicious times as a human soul. I really look forward and expect exciting human experiences as I grow and evolve here on my earthly trip. I think that this embodiment in my latest incarnation is going to be simply wonderful.
~~~~~~~~~
What you don't know is this: I came accompanied by a group of spirit souls, my companions from the heavenly realm. This loving company has been hovering around helping me adjust with the unique constraints of this physical world of form and matter.
~~~~~~~~~
For the whole lunar month, I can see and I can commune with my spirit soul friends telepathically. I feel their love fortifying me for the rigours of my earthly mission.
~~~~~~~~~
Soon, I will no longer be able to see or feel the presence of my friends. It is decreed that I will have to sync with my earthly life path and journey alone. To do this well, I will for this lifetime forget my home in the realm above. I will for the duration of my mortal life journey here on earth find my own way till we meet again in the after life.
~~~~~~~~~
Please don't reveal my secret agenda. After all, I will soon lose all memory of my past lives just so that I can live this life with all its trials and tribulations, and learn and discern the valuable lessons I need so as to progress my soul evolution. I accept this earthly sojourn with grace, love and light. So be it.
~~~~~~~~~


<ENDS>

    The love of a child epically to a grandchild is so unconditional. And to relate to his space before and after birth, amazing. “After all, a face like a picture tells a thousand words!” a favorite. This is a nice dedication to your grandson. Love reading, Leon, thank you for sharing ... Eve
