Earth Touching Gesture


My lower self said to my higher self, "I dare you to switch places with me, 
just for a little while." So we did. Angels took animal bodies, heaven clothed 
herself in earth, pain and beauty merged in a single teardrop called "human being." 
It was only for a moment, though it seemed a thousand lifetimes. Afterward 
we both agreed: no higher, no lower, no self. Only wonder.
