I Ain't Got No Body...:
I was a weird kid who grew up into an even weirder adult and one of the things I was most fascinated by when I was a kid was skeletons. In many ways, I still am. Most people see them as creepy or evil, but what's so creepy about the foundation on which your whole physical being rests? Nothing, in my opinion. I was almost given an actual human skeleton but my wife was too weirded out by the idea. I tried to reassure her that it's not really the skeleton that makes us up, that it's that "spark of Life" that actually animates the human body but she wasn't buying any of my metaphysical/spiritual mumbo-jumbo so I bought this instead. It's a pretty good version...I mean, it's not the real thing, but I'm not about to make any bones about it...get it...bones...heh...heh...uh, anyway... She stll thinks "Yorrick" (the name I named him)is kind of creepy - especially after I installed some eyeballs I bought at the craft store- but to me, he's almost kind of comforting. He's a reminder that this physical body will one day take a "dirt nap" but that which animated it in the first place will continue on in another way. Life should be light and fun. The physical body can be the biggest obstacle or the greatest vehicle to discover and uncover new levels of living. It's kind of a paradox, really, that we need the physical journey to discover the Truth that we're more than the physical body. From Hamlet: Alas, poor Yorick! I knew him, Horatio: a fellow of infinite jest, of most excellent fancy: he hath borne me on his back a thousand times; and now, how abhorred in my imagination it is! my gorge rims at it. Here hung those lips that I have kissed I know not how oft. Where be your gibes now? your gambols? your songs? your flashes of merriment, that were wont to set the table on a roar? Not one now, to mock your own grinning? quite chap-fallen? Now get you to my lady's chamber, and tell her, let her paint an inch thick, to this favour she must come; make her laugh at that. Human life is fragile and all too temporary and all of us are walking the high wire between the known and the unknown but when we embrace our inevitable death, we begin to embrace the sweet mystery that is life itself. You are more than a bag of bones... You are a parenthesis in Eternity. Peace & Blessings, john, 'the Light Coach'
