Is that your soul I feel or are you just happy to see me....

   Alright, folks...I warned ya. Now that I have a full size keyboard right in front of me shits about to get REAL.

   That's right. Auntie Nessa is gonna wax poetic about souls. You heard me...The big "S". Le energy muy importante!!! (Did I spell that right? Lol!) Anywhoooo....before I get way off on a tangent trying to come up with funny ways to describe a soul...I'll get back to the task at hand.

   I've seen a lot...and I mean ALOT...of pics lately, on the internet, of supposed photos proving that souls exist. Or at least attempting to. Now...I'm not knocking the idea. Nor am I making light of a persons need to visualize what cannot be seen, normally, with the naked eye. Not by a long shot.

   But here's what I find fascinating. Are you with me? Cause this is gonna be a good one...promise!! Ok...here it goes......

   For all those people out there who need to see evidence of a soul in order to believe in it, this is the question I pose to you...

   "What are you?"

   Now...before you get offended I want you to really think about that. What ARE you? It's a simple question but probably one of the hardest anyone would ever have to answer. Your first answer will either be human, man or woman...right? It might be mother, father, brother or sister. It could be many different things and any one of them would be right. That having been said I can guarantee one answer that NONE of you thought of.

   Meat puppet.

   Yep...read it again. You heard me right. Meat puppet. Talking flesh sack is another one. Walking opinionated asshole could be another, who knows? The fact is NONE of you thought that. I would be willing to bet just about anything on it. You know why you didn't think that? Because deep down...some deeper than others....you know you are made up of a soul. You may not be able to see it. You may not be able to touch it. But you KNOW.

   Our souls are, literally, what makes us US. Your soul is what guides you. Your soul is that tiny voice in your head. That feeling in your gut that will never lead you astray. Your soul is the very essence of who you ARE.

   Sure...it has it's good days and it's bad days. After all....nothing is perfect. But that doesn't change the fact that your soul is YOU. Without a soul we simply are walking, talking piles of flesh and bone. Did you ever think of it that way? Have you ever wondered whether or not you truly had a soul? Simply by wondering you have already proven that you do.

   We have all heard of soulless killers or people who had eyes that seemed soulless. Hell...I've even seen a few myself. ***shudder*** I can't say for certain that these people don't have any soul in them. What I CAN say is that those who go against their own conscience and follow a life of self-indulgence at the cost of others....or those who are so evil that they brutally take the lives of others may have had souls in the past but, through their own personal choices, are slowly killing it off. When this happens, I believe, that's when you see people as shells of what they used to be.

   You also have those instances where, sometimes, a persons soul has been so brutalized through life that they have a hard time acclimating to the world when the brutality stops. I have seen this too.

   Keep in mind this is all speculation, on my part. I am no expert on souls. No one is. I can say I'm comfortable in the soundness of MY soul and need no photographic proof of it's existence. Food for thought....

P.S...I wanted to say thank you to all my friends who sent me those pics you found on the internet. They truly were the inspiration for this blog. You guys are amazing!!!!

   Blessed Be )o(
