Have a seat at my table, my noble friends.
True nobility
is honoring
your former selves
no matter what
you think of them.
Honoring
your fellow humans
no matter what
you think of them.
We are a process,
imagined by god
and expressed as us
and through us.
Have gratitude
for what is given.
Have faith in the outcome.

Embracing the Essence of True Nobility
In the grand banquet hall of existence, we gather around the table of life, embracing the concept of nobility. True nobility, however, transcends titles and social status. It’s a profound understanding and respect for our journey, our fellow beings, and the process of life itself.
Honoring Our Former Selves
True nobility lies in honoring our former selves. Each version of us, from the past, has contributed to who we are today. They are the stepping stones of our personal evolution, the architects of our current selves. Regardless of how we view these past selves, acknowledging their role in our journey is an act of grace and wisdom.
Respecting Fellow Humans
Extending this honor to our fellow humans, regardless of our opinions about them, is the essence of nobility. It recognizes the shared journey of growth and transformation that we all undergo. By respecting others, we acknowledge the divine spark within each soul, understanding that we are all part of a greater cosmic whimsiplay.
The Process of Life as a Divine Imagination
We are indeed a process, imagined by a greater consciousness, expressed as ourselves, and through us. This perspective invites us to view life not as a series of random events but as a meaningful flow, a divine narrative in which we play integral roles.
Gratitude for What Is Given
Gratitude for what is given, for the blessings and challenges alike, is a noble virtue. It’s an acknowledgement of the gifts of existence, an appreciation for the myriad experiences that shape our journey, and a recognition of the lessons and growth that come from both joy and adversity.
Faith in the Outcome
Having faith in the outcome is an act of noble courage. It’s trusting the process of life, believing in the unfolding of a grander plan, even when the path is shrouded in mystery. This faith guides us, providing strength and resilience as we navigate the intricate pathways of our destiny.
The Gathering of Noble Souls
As we sit at this metaphorical table, we are not just individuals, but a collective of noble souls, journeying through the whimsical tapestry of life. We share stories, learn from each other, and grow together in this continuous cycle of becoming.
Summary
True nobility is about honoring our former selves and our fellow humans, understanding that we are all part of a divine process. It involves gratitude for the experiences life offers and having faith in the outcomes of our journeys. As we gather in the banquet of life, we embrace our roles in this grand narrative, recognizing the nobility inherent in each of us and the collective journey we share.

A Poem on Nobility and the Banquet of Life
At the table of life, we take our seat,
Noble souls gathering, in time we meet.
Honoring selves, past and present, a gracious art,
Each one a chapter, in life’s grand cart.
Respecting others, a noble deed,
Acknowledging the divine spark, in every creed.
We’re a whimsical dance, in god’s grand play,
Expressing, evolving, in our unique way.
Gratitude for blessings, for lessons too,
In joys and sorrows, our spirits renew.
Faith in the outcome, a courageous stand,
Trusting life’s flow, in its mysterious hand.
Gathered at this table, a collective bright,
Journeying together, through day and night.
In this banquet of existence, we find our part,
Embracing nobility, with an open heart.
We invite reflections on this noble journey of honoring our past selves, respecting others, and embracing the grand narrative of life with gratitude and faith.
