Jiva, a metaphysical parable told by an ancient philosopher who lightens his argument by getting up-close and personal, whispering a tale about soul and a way to see it. The short story moves quickly as the reader hikes among a group of campers guided along a well beaten path to an ancient archeological site where many of the group press further into an abandoned mine shaft drilled deep behind a carved cliff figure referred to as Jiva, the mask of soul; the sites' main feature. Those of the group who dare to enter the cavern leave lit with soul and try to carry its essence back to the campground fundamentalist who stayed behind thinking the trip foolish. Jiva is a story for the spiritually minded, children, or perhaps the skeptical pragmatist who might say, "If there is something called soul, then there must be a way to see it." The parable of Jiva is a spiritually uplifting story about soul for all who can read or be read to. Author's photo above dates back many years, to a time he first conceived of the idea that the divine and the world about us is but one reality. Many I never ,never, never, forget!
