Imagine yourself being
in your mother's womb
as an embryo.
Stay in the position for awhile.
Ask yourself if you still wish to come out
into the world with all the knowledge
you have of what happened to you
and how you affected others.

I wouldn't give up this life for anything.
My mother might have different ideas sometimes though.
There's a myth i promote that my mother refused to give birth to me and had to be hypnotised for it to happen and i'm still waiting for a doctor somewhere to click his fingers.
My mother says that was another sibling though.
This dimentional place of existance did not deserve my birth.
Isn't it what we do every night when we go to sleep: return to our mother's womb?
What a shame we are always spelled out of it, when waking up, without being asked before !
Sometimes I would love to stay there deep deep inside, just feeling the outside world without having to confront it.
Woo! These Life Pieces are like floating and diving.
I'll sing YES and admit to lurching between focus and balance.
(Gonna die anyway.)
The idea of the survival story is a gift that will take some meditation.
God put us in our mother's womb exactly for the purpose of coming out into this world. He has already planned what He wants us to do . . . we either do it or not . . . I would like to think that all of my many experiences in life have made an impact, no matter how small, on someones life . . . then I would have fulfilled my life's purpose. So that would answer the original question . . . YES I would come out of my mothers womb . . . that was my destiny.
Yes, I would come out of my mother's womb. That was what God wanted. We should be in awe of all embryos in the womb.
I really don't know how to answer this question.
I ,like some of your other readers who have posted comments,agree with the fact that we are all God's creation and play an important part in the world around us whether we realize it or not.
But I've always felt that I would have rather not entered the world at all,to be spared from all of the hurt and pain etc etc,that has seemed to outweigh the good times in my life.
But I know that they are people who are living better lives because of something or other I have done.who might choose to disagree with the fact that I should never have existed.
I chose to come here,
even though there are times,
when I prefer to be back in the womb,
normally I will watch a movie,
all cuddled up and secure.
Maybe a cup of hOt chocolate.
When it is all said and done, I am glad I have come. It is painful, people have hurt me, people have left me too soon, I have been through some tough times, but I wouldn't give all this up for the world:
The smell of the morning on a spring day
the vision of a sunset across a partly cloudy sky
The taste of my husbands lips and the sensuality and passion we share
The feel of clean sheets when I am tired
The smell of my child's hair, the sounds of thier voices, the look of them, the feel of thier soft skin
The sound of so many kinds of music
And the feeling of true love
These all make it worth while, and I thank God for it. He knows I fear death, like I probably feared life, but "we will all float on okay" (Modest Mouse)
This makes me laugh.
I have no doubt that we are all fulfilling our piece of the giant jigsaw. I am learning from people, and people are learning from me. It is a symbiotic relationship.

We all came down from above. I hope we finish the job we came for. I might end up pissed if we don't in my lifetime.
