Most of us are comfortable thinking about our physical bodies, the ones made so substantially out of electron clouds, protons, space, and perhaps dark energy. We’re often less comfortable thinking about our mysterious minds – what they are, where they’re located, and the self which may be part of the mind.
Perhaps most mysterious of all is something we call spirit.

As I lay there, the idea of a Spirit Flag kept rising in my mind. This is an account of my Spirit Flag.
