The River

Consider the river.

Is it just in its water?

Or is it just in its banks?

Surely, it is neither;

and yet, it is both.

 

Consider ourselves.

Are we just in our mind?

Or are we just in our body?

Surely, we are neither;

and yet, we are both.

 

The river will eventually

merge into the sea;

just as you and me,

will merge into eternity.

And the water is ever being renewed!

When Jesus' glory shone briefly on the mountain (Luke 9:28-36), the disciples saw Moses and Elijah speaking with him about his coming departure - death - at Jerusalem  showing that they were still invidiviiduals with personality after death., We are told if we believe in him, we will have our bodies glorified, like Jesus' resurrection body, and be able to go to God's infinite presesnce, but not merge with him.

Thank Rhiannon. And of course yours is one view, and one I respect, even if I may not see it exactly the same; I guess it depends on which side of the mountain we are climbing from; hopefully, all will be revealed at the top.
