You may have heard this before. I have. But I loved reading it again.
In a mother's womb, there are two babies and one turns to the other and says, “Do you believe in life after
delivery?”
The other replies, “Of course there has to be something after delivery. Maybe we're here to prepare ourselves for what will be later. This can’t be the end.”
“Nonsense”, says the first baby, “There's no
life after delivery. We are here to enjoy ourselves. That’s it. Life after delivery? What kind of life would that be?”
“I don't know”, said the second, “but maybe there'll be
more light than here. Maybe we'll walk with our legs and eat with our mouths. Maybe we'll have other senses we can't understand now. Maybe it’s beyond our comprehension.”
“That’s ridiculous. Walking is impossible and eating with our mouths? That's absurd. The umbilical cord is what scientifically supplies nutrition and all that we need, but it's far too short. Life after delivery is to be logically excluded.”
The other baby says, “What if it's just different than
it is here? Maybe we don't need that physical cord anymore.”
The first replies, “Okay, if there were life after delivery, then tell me, why has no one ever come back from there?
Delivery is the end of life. And in the after delivery is nothing but darkness and silence and oblivion. It takes us nowhere.”
The second says, “But certainly we'll meet mother and she'll take care of us. She loves us. She made us.”
The first says, “You actually believe in mother? If mother exists, where is she now?”
“She's all around us. We are of her. It is in her that we live. Without her, this world would not and could not exist.”
“I don't see her. It's only logical that she's not here.”
“Sometimes when you're in silence and you really listen, you can perceive her presence. You can hear her loving voice calling down from above.”
Love it. So good. So spot on.
