I am trying to grasp the fullness of human life. My wife and I left for the hospital on the evening of June 17 and arrived back home on the afternoon of June 19 with a small person with us who was just welcomed into human reality. She is fully human yet is completely dependent on our provision for life. I have seen her progression from birth through 3 months old including physical and mental growth, change is attentiveness and reactivity, and motor skill development. She now laughs, makes expressive faces, tries to talk, grabs things with her hands, looks around, gets excited. She is fully human yet cannot do anything to keep herself alive. It is the breath of YHWH that naturally fills her and sustains her while his (not intended to be patriarchal or label YHWH with a gender specification) creativity keeps her body "involuntarily" functioning. I may be trying, but I cannot grasp the fullness of human reality.

by accident I posted my password at the end of the comment. Basically...the whole idea of understanding reality in every scope of imagination and how limited that scope is. Mindblowing. So much so there is a mess of brain matter in room 140, you should get someone right on that.
Human life is something that is very hard to comprehend. I have thought about it in meager attempts that usually last about two minutes because I figure out that it is an incredible thing that our minds will never be able to fully grasp.
