Emerson, Ralph Waldo, writes of Soul.
In a compilation of his thoughts he states that our body is the organ OF the Soul. That we can not describe a Soul by words for they are merely painting a picture. A Soul is the reflection of a man's actions. Our Soul animates our Being. It is our actions that we are revealed in. A light shines through us and that light reveals the image that is us. With consideration it is that we realize we are nothing and the light is all.
What I was struck by in reading this morning was that our Soul is what animates our body our organ our reflection in this world of our Soul is our being.
