Greetings Dear Reader,
When I was younger and tried to suppress my emotions, there
were those who described me as an egg.
They saw me as hard on the outside but soft on the inside. Those who broke through that shell often
found the feelings underneath not what they wished.
The latest use of the egg relative to people is one that I
feel does not reach far enough. There is
a meme using eggs to explain race that is quite good. It shows a brown egg and
a white egg whole and in their shells.
Then it shows both eggs broken side-by-side to explain that there is no
difference on the inside. I like it.
I feel that it does not go far enough. Our souls are all the same. They are unique in that they are singular in
creation but they are still all our souls.
They are the eternal part of us that Jesus will sustain, nurture, and
died to redeem. They are the great
equalizer and the great delimiter. The
soul is what matters.
This is why that particular twenty-one grams is such a great
weight to carry. It is also
fragile. The heavy and fragile soul is
what transcends time eventually. When we
treat others with disdain, we are ignoring the unique nature of human
soul. We cannot carry the soul of another
but we can treat it with love and respect.
If there is anyone I treat with disrespect or do not love
then I am ultimately disrespecting another soul. I am placing my disregard on something
eternal. If I remember to see every
human this way, it becomes much easier to love others. I must love them if I am to follow
Christ. Seeing them as equal to me
genuinely helps. It is vital that I live
this if I am to follow well.
Wishing you joy in the journey,
Aramis Thorn

writer who has become a disciple of Christ’s rule of the universe is like a
home owner. He liberally hands out new and old things from his great treasure
store.”
