We all talk about Body, Soul, and Spirit.

But what is Spirit?

Some say it's our Passion, the inner drive to do and be the best we
can be. Some say it's something given by a God. Some say it's our
Higher Selves.

For me, I'm wondering if there even is such a thing. Can't Life just
be Life? Can't it include all the things that others seem to want to
break down into 3 parts?

For there to be a separate word for it means that the concept of a
separate thing exists. And in that case, I must acknowledge that it
might be true, there may be 3 different parts to us.

But why?

What benefit is spirit to our being?

Spirit is supposed to be eternal. Eternity is a strange concept, it's
a bit hard for me as a simple human to visualize. Things die. They
die all around us. Eternity is the antithesis to what we know as
Life. Life comes and goes.

Ummm, need to sleep. Will pick this up later. I'm not nearly done
with this little monologue I'm creating here. And if it turns into a
dialogue, please know that I have much more to say on this subject,
just not at the moment.

See ya later
Robin
