When we get anchored on a single, limited point of view, we lose perspective about how great life is. By that, I mean all of your life, what’s before and what comes after.

About a year ago, I posted What happens when you die, but there’s a reverse worth thinking about.

The simple point is, a part of you fails. It falls apart, but the foundations remain, the ones we always had. Your life’s a popup, but your foundation is where you live, all the time, no dying allowed.

It’s all over ancient history, the idea of renewal, of reincarnating, and probably we knew all along. But like Henry Hill in The Music Man, we don’t know the territory. And we don’t see the forest for the trees, if you can tolerate the cliche.

We’re so focused on our physical world, we don’t see the essential universe powering it.

Nor should we.

We arrive in this place of unimaginable opportunity, fresh out of the warmth of Mom, with one intention.
