“What is life? Is life the seeds of grass, drifting aimlessly, at times multiplying then dying, while at other times being swept into the vast expanse of the heavens?”

Inspired by various passages in the chapter “What is Life” in the book Dialogues with the Master by Paul Twitchell, 1983 edition.

“Is life but a feather in a wind, carried away to unknown places?”

Inspired by various passages in the chapter “What is Life” in the book Dialogues with the Master by Paul Twitchell, 1983 edition.

“Is life like a fleeting shadow, darting across the grass, only to fade away as the sun sinks below the horizon?”

“Or is life just the fleeting white breath of an ox on a cold winter’s day, vanishing into the frigid air, leaving behind only a trace of its existence?”

Inspired by various passages in the chapter “What is Life in the book Dialogues with the Master by Paul Twitchell, 1983 edition.

“Could life be like a moth drawn to the flame? Out of the night we come, drawn to the fire’s glow. The flash of a wing in the burning ring, and into the night we go?”

“Or is life just the hands we hold up to put off death?”

“Again you ask, what is life? Tell me who is earthly wise, you say. And you ask, who knows the way through starlit skies, and whose imagination flies to the worlds beyond them?”

Life is love! “Love which makes everything beautiful, and breathes divinity into the very dust we tread. With love the Soul enters into eternity, gloriously, with God’s Voice like some great music that has the power to hold the Soul on eagle wings.”
