Soul

What does a soul weigh?

What are the tiny particles that make up our art, our way of putting words together–our music?

Are the objects to our eyes which are beautiful to be counted in the heft of our being?

When we die, are we but shells? That which we were only in flesh and bone and sinew?

How do we measure what pleases us; what makes us laugh and cry?

Does all that disappear? Or can it be counted?

Is there a number which can represent all that we are?

What does our soul weigh?

It is infinite.

    Intriguing thought. May I reblog to “Tales of Unwise Paths?”

    Beautiful lines..You have expressed through your words what I have often felt…the soul is the only thing that keeps us from being just a dumb mass of flesh and bones 🙂

    Loved reading this on a dreary Monday morning. In Hindu philosophy the soul is timeless, eternal. Gives reason to be better than what we are, isn’t it! Keep writing Linda 🙂

    Did you know that they have done studies and shown that a soul does actually weigh something?
    Amazing isn’t it?
    Beautiful words my friend.

    I sometimes ask the same questions about our souls and our essence. I really like the way you asked those questions. I’m glad I found your page.

    Very good questions Linda. You can find all the answers for your questions inside yourself. I really like to see, how you are minding here.
