Metaphysics

One of Richard Rohr’s Five Messages for Men—You are going to die—expresses a common misunderstanding. We do not grow and die. Our bodies do.

Deathless

Bodies come and go but the life that we are does not die.

No thing

There is a space between each one of these words. Space enables comprehension.

How old am I?

Not to indulge in pettifoggery but I AM is ageless. In other words, never born, never died. And the body? Well, that’s another story. A bit of a blip, really. Rounded upward, it’s 100.
