On the Inside

Who are you on the inside?  Are you the body which you see in the mirror?  That body has changed over the years, has it not?  You may be wiser and have learned a thing or two, but the you who gazes in the mirror is the same.  That is the part of you who never dies.  You simply ARE.  You are a point of awareness who takes on a body that changes.  And what if that body should end up in a wheelchair, unable to speak but in garbled sentences?  Who do you think would be gazing into the mirror then?  Why, of course, the same you who gazed in the mirror at 12 years old, and then 20, and 40, and 60, and who feels no different. 

So, please, we ask you to keep this in mind when dealing with one whose physical body is less than what most would deem perfect and know that within is a soul that simply IS … a soul that is aware, alert, playing in this world and the world of spirit, as are all of you at all times.  The only one who is handicapped is the one who fails to see beyond the mask.
