While cutting off the hem of a dress I never wore to make a headband, my parakeets chirped in the background. They were persistent, asking me for food and light no doubt, as it was past 10am and they had neither. I ignored them at first and then this thought came to mind:
Life is greater than creation.
This thought caused me to act and place the well-being of my pets (the kittens have not yet eaten..) before this pleasure I was seeking. As I grabbed the food, I wondered what the difference was between life and creation. Creation in this particular context was in the manipulation of a fabric, but what are beings the manipulation of?
Life could be much more than we perceive. It could be what the universe is made of and we are not life at all but rather creation. Maybe we are the hem of a dress being cut and nothingness holds the scissors.
