Spiral Staircase in the Iowa State Capitol Building |
We are spiritual beings having a human
experience in this life. Walking up a staircase can be viewed as
analogous to our journey in this world. As we go up each set of
stairs, our perspective of reality changes in much the same way as a
lens on a camera can alter what we see. The beauty in living is that
we choose how high up on the steps we want to go by the amount of
willingness to connect to our spiritual selves to gain access to our
authentic selves.
There are times we may descend a few
steps as well. We are never so perfect as to only go one way-that is
up. Challenges are presented to us that may cause us to step down or
step up. Sometimes we lend a hand of support to those who cross our
path. Sometimes they return the favor. Challenges are always opportunities for
growth. That is a good thing!
Hence, we are always choosing our direction and that makes us all unique and very special.
