earth

You can not "own" land. The same god that made land created us, and just as we can not own another person we can not own earth. we don't own the wind, it is free as a bird. we don't own the sky. It is not ours to decide. We do not actually own anything physical in this world, when we die it is left in the earth, it leaves our possession. It is not ours. so what is? What is truly ours? An idea. A belief. Love. we can own these things, they can be ours. what is of our mind is no one else's. We can be these things, we can love these things. all thoughts in our head die with our earthly body, yet they pass on as we do. They pass on with us, if we do indeed pass on. They are not of this world.
I heard a quote once, "the closest thing to godliness is to create" I cant remember who said it, but lord, I hold with it. What our lives mean has nothing to do with what land we supposedly own, how much money we have. It is what we believe. It is who we are, what we do. we create.

I just read your comment on my blog--pretty neat that you're Meyer's daughter, since she only has three sons ;)
