True essence of your existence

True essence of your existence

When you are really sick or suffering, when you feel you are at the edge of your life, remember..

"Your body is not the true essence of your existence;
Think of the snow flakes falling freely, its temporary form..
.. is ever changing." - I read this 25 years ago without understanding what it meant.

"The true essence of this life that you are living is the soul." I now think I understand what it meant but still do NOT see or own the knowledge like it's mine - even though I am closer to this body than anyone else I know.

Blessed may we be.
