100% Pure

Here's a notion that's been floating around a bit lately in the serpentine stream that is my thought process... Purity--it's something that I've been strangely desiring lately. Being callous and hardened is appealing at times, but the vunerability to be pure is so fascinatingly foreign that it is possible that it is a new desire, simply for curiousity's sake. Regardless, it's there.To be pure--what is it? My dictionary says it's "freedom from foreign admixture or deleterious matter, freedom from foulness or dirt, freedom from guilt or the defilement of sin; innocence; chastity; as, purity of heart or of life; freedom from any sinister or improper motives or views." Wow. Now I believe that every human is born with a sin nature; so in a way, even as a new infant one is not pure. They may be innocent, but not pure. I've always thought purity was something one lost, but I've come to understand that it is something to be gained. That is an amazing insight. It shouldn't be waxed in nostalgia as a portion of lives lost; it is a gift to be found--it's moving forward in your life. And it's rooted in freedom! It is not navite, or settling, or shackles like it is so often considered--"Oh if I'm pure I can't have fun, etc" but even the dictionary considers it freedom. Is it possible to be complex and pure? I dunno. This is just a jumble of thoughts--taken me 4 days to write this blog and it still makes no sense! Your thoughts?
