We are always placing the emPHAsis
upon the wrong silLAble,
as the old saying goes.

We are always fretting about our vulnerability,
and never say a thing about our invulnerability,
when, in all truth, we are invincible.

We may be scared and rumpled
but we are sill ticking.
After all these years.
Ticking is what we do best.
That and whining.
We whine about everything.

"Oh, Woe is me!
Poor me!
Poor, Poor, me!
I'll never get out of this alive!"

So what?
Why let our liabilities get us down?
Why keep score?
Why care what our chances are?
Why not live like we are never
going to die?
Or at least, like we are going to live
all the way until we do?

Here's my case for invulnerability:
We are still here!
You can't deny that.
We have dealt with everything 
that has come our way--
and are still dealing!

Nothing has stopped us!
We keep finding ways to get up
and face the day!

Superman/woman couldn't do more!

Invulnerability is doing what it takes
to get up and face what's next--
and doing what needs to be done about it
with a gleam in our eye
and a spring in our step!

In each situation as it arises
all our life long!

We have been doing that from the start!

And will keep doing it 
until we transition back into the light
that is our source and our goal!

Being who we are forever!
Bear that in mind 
the next time you are tempted
to do the "Woe is me!" thing.
