I think of it as The Fool's Journey. I've been asked who the "fool" is. It's me, but in the classical sense of the court jester. Only the fool was allowed to tell the king of his follies.

I Timothy 6:7 says, "For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out." We like to make a big deal out of birthdays to alleviate the gloom of being reminded once a year that we're somewhere between nothing and nothing.

>>I Timothy 6:7 says, "For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out."<<
I much prefer another biblical idea, the one that says God created Man out of the dust. (“Dust we are and dust we shall return.”) Dust is something you can touch, something you can vacuum, whereas nothingness is just too empty a concept for my taste. What then can we do to relieve us of our dusty condition? Keats said it best, “A thing of beauty is a joy for ever: Its loveliness increases; it will never pass into nothingness …
Jeremy asked his mnother if it's true what the bible says about dust. "Yes," she said, "why?" "Because I looked under the bed," he replied, "and somebody's either coming or going."
(((chuckles))) trust Jeremy! LOL
Great cartoon John!
Lovely words from Keats Professor... thanks.
