Back to the crazy 24 hr calls in the ED on summer weekends. By morning, you're probably walking around with you head tilted to one side. Simply because, you're just too exhausted to get it all the way up straight. No sooner than you finally make it home the next day and you've crashed on the nearest flat place that can hold your body habitus. Which then in turn, leads to a considerable amount of confusion when something wakes you mid-afternoon and you have no idea where you are nor what just happened!!
The human body never ceases to amaze me. The other day I saw someone walking down the hall, scratching her head and talking on her phone. You could tell she was part of a family, and as they were all solemn-faced standing outside of the MICU (and it had been the third time that day I'd seen them), one could only conclude they were there to say good-bye to a loved one. And I as struck with amazement. They were saying good-bye to someone, yet no thought to themselves. Someone they loved had stopped breathing, heart stopped beating and eyes stopped seeing. Yet she was talking on her phone, with no thought to her next breath. Beholding her family, with no thought to when she would see them last. And heart hurting, with what belief about eternity?
Our Creator in His divinity has made it pretty easy for us. Our bodies pretty much take care of themselves. Breaks down and builds up; heals itself where needed and when allowed. Then just like our relationship with the Creator itself, we can go mess it up pretty bad sometimes. Seemingly, to the point of irrevocability sometimes. But the awesomeness of God's creation can not be limited to science, and without our understanding it survives and healing is provided. The body could never hope to be the same again, nor should it be. It now holds a beautiful story instead. Healing and hope. Same for a relationship with our Creator, once broken and repaired against all odds, carries a story of glory unlike any other.
Much Love.
