To be cultivated...

The tears of the believer is a result of the realization that she is the old version, full of ruin... the part that does not move on. The rejoice of the believer is the knowing that evolution and transformation is possible.

One we can see as transformed is Christ. He embodies the transformation. The evolution- the making of something new- into something better.

In day in time we speak in terms of sustainability. This life is only sustainable with balance which includes our physical death. We both praise and mourn this once we reach the age of realization, that we do not live forever. We praise that there is something new and wonderful ahead. We mourn the leaving of what we know and understand in the present.

The hope of something better comforts us so that we may live. But live righteously- for the creation, your offspring, so that not only will the world around them be evolved for the better, but so that they will be a better version, an evolved version of you.

Ruin is the road to transformation, as Christ shows us through his Life and Death. We can see this physically as well as we die, return to dust, and give new life to the soil, plants and the rest of the food chain. We do go from dust to dust.

There are times in my life like today where I mourn. I mourn many things, the sadness of the world, my lack of direction and purpose, my lack of someone to care for. It is from this mourning that I am inspired to write. From the sadness, comes realization and creation. After writing, I rejoice in the words that have come. Knowing that more will follow, both mourning and rejoicing, I continue.
