What is the Soul?

The universe is ever in motion. Is there ever a moment where we, where the earth, the moon, the sun and all the stars, where it all stands still? God never stands still.

An so it is with our souls. They are the embodiment of the Creator. The soul resides within us, a constant reminder of the living, moving and creating source of all things. The soul is infinite, imperishable, self-luminous, beginningless, endless, impervious to decay, without birth, without death, soaring, never shrinking, and strident in its divinity. Independent. We don’t know where it exists, only that it is, and ever will be. Vastly misunderstood, our source of Understanding. It will be the beacon that guides us home, and the vessel that carries us onward. It will be the song comprised of millions of voices. At once praiseful and praiseworthy, the soul is yesterday’s fair shadow, today’s hope and eternity’s key.

It is not ours to give away, or sell, for we are merely caretakers. But we do sometimes lose our souls in the mundane folly. Most often, it is lost to negligence and neglect. Without the soul we may live, or die, in varying shades of gray. Joyous hues recede into an endless night. The night recedes into a far-off vacuum, which eventually diminishes to unbearable nothingness.

And yet, the universe is ever in motion.

In Heaven Ride, The Sojourn of Souls, we try to imagine the soul and life without it. It is nearly impossible to force words to fit our conjectures and ideas. As a testament to our human frailties, we try. We put forth a vain effort, knowing the outcome is futile. We have no words to match the glorious nature of the soul, so we choke on our inadequacies. Lies. Lies! We know they are lies, but we hope they are lies that will bring us all closer to a truth

So won’t you join us on our ride? Share in our mystery, and again, in the discovery.
