And the Shepherds returned.
Glorifying and praising.
Have we from this life turned.
Are we here, for the end, merely waiting.

I was pondering, thinking.
Who are we really, what is our essence.
We are so tied up in our ego , just existing.
But what will come into the divine presence.

It is not this body, our life’s role.
Nor any possession.
Only the undefinable soul.
Will survive and is the essential lesson.

So we chase our essence.
Yet it eludes us, it is only a sense.

……

What is our essence
Is it body or our soul
What’s essential

See Luke 2: 16-21
