In the words of The Dalai Lama, "The period of greatest gain in knowledge and experience is the most difficult period in one's life".. making problems an opportunity.. that recognize the bigger picture.. of ourselves.. and life.. compelling us to seek the 'lesson' deep within it's folds..
The Tree of Knowledge, symbolizing Good and Evil, and The Forbidden Fruit symbolizing 'choice'.. makes you wonder about the 'fall'.. into 'rebirth'.. lessons chosen.. swinging between material needs drowning the spiritual.. as we continue to 'feed' the body and starve the soul.. falling.. rising.. moving towards the 'Tree Of Life'.. like the 'Bodhi Tree'.. granting immortality.. or enlightenment..
Opposing forces becoming a necessary part of any wisdom.. we swing out again and again, perceiving nature only as a resource for physical gain.. unable to see the pervasive teacher and the lesson.. what every other life form knows instinctively.. man through his 'choice' needs to experience first-hand.. and this is the beauty of lifetimes.. an adventure.. a mission.. a journey.. a quest.. a celebration of wanting to 'touch' life to the fullest..
