Incarnate on Earth, Win a Prize!

 bink gave The Best Answer this morning at coffee to the question,
Why would you––as a soul in the astral plane––possibly 
have chosen to incarnate here, in this time and place on Earth?

She thought a minute. Then she said,
"I wanted to win the Participation Prize."

I love that so much!

"I showed up, AND I played the game... 
even though the rules in the rule book were totally confusing,
 and half the pages were ripped out."

I told bink she should design a Participation Prize cup.
She said she would consider that.
"The cups should be made out of tin cans," she said.

God, yes.

  1. Some one said that there was a party on earth and volunteers are needed for the clean up
    " comity". "what are the perks?" - "well, rivers and creeks , mountains, and beach, weather that you can feel on your face- children and dogs and endless entertainment. Ok, sign me up. The only catch is that if you start taking it seriously , you have failed and will struggle until you are called back to base." Ok- sounds like a deal.... "There will be cake?"- "oh, yes".

    1. 😂 CAKE!!! Love it—a wonderful vision.
      That’s a bit of a tricky catch though…

    2. I googled “Is there a cake on the astral plane?”

      Close!
      “Astral beings eat ‘luminous raylike vegetables.’
      The waste from it must, then, be pure light as well.

      “Everything in the astral universe is made of light and energy. Light enters the body and light exits from it.

      “Tastes are delicious there, and astral beings can taste with all their senses, plus with the skin.”
