I would like to balance this with some Natural Law philosophy in the Aristotle / Thomas Aquinas tradition. The final end to all physical bodies is death. From a religious standpoint, the final end is the unification with the creator (God). For all the machinations of man's thinking there is only one of two choices to make: 1. There is this new wisdom from knowledge that will make ME a GOD! (the first sin of Adam & Eve) 2. There is a loving God who provides for me (Graces), both physical, mental and emotional in this spiritual transition through the physical world. My rational abilities to think in the abstract and interpret the physical and metaphysical world is but one of the gifts from God. I cannot, nor should I try, to make God conform to human rationality. I appreaciate reading Larry Glover’s poetic metaphors.

They grow at the same rate, they color their leaves the same colors, they drop them at the same time and reacquire them at the same time.
