excellent poem, Kate ... "the oozing flesh of fruit
melting on your tongue" ... luv these lines ...

I love that song, Kate!
I also love this poem!! ;)

Kate,
This one spoke to me on a very deep personal level. Thank you.

Walt

Truly deep and thought provoking pen Kate.

OH my, so many words of wisdom, Kate. Wonderful metaphors. Wonderful poems. Liz

I like this far better than "Imagine," it is skilled writing with more meaning and depth with an ability to touch more people through its rich yet relatable descriptions, excellent- Blessings, Michelle

I'm a Lennon fan..."Imagine" a classic for this lightworker...To live in the present moment (love) is the only way to be truely free and an awakened human being. to quote Rubai'yat:
"Alike for those who for TO-DAY prepare,
And that after a TO-MORROW stare,
A Muezzin from the Tower of Darkness cries
"Fools! your reward is neither Here nor There!"

I'm glad you wrote this... His song always bothered me, because the tune was so beautifully haunting, and yet the words never made sense to me-- to imagine that there was no heaven, was just no kinda life to me-- meaningless... Anyways, you put it straight. Thanks. --Charlie

In the Creator's eyes there is always beauty...even in that decomposing rose...for life comes full circle with love at the head of the table. Beautiful work, Kate.

Augh and the aroma of the rose adheres to the palm that gives it away.
happy valentine's Day!
Blessings and love!

Enjoy today and all the tomorrows will soon follow. Brilliantly written....

Be always safe,

Brilliant. Writen in kataphasis, but points towards the apophatic.
One really does not have to worry about the morrow, and can live like the lily in the field, if they could live with God in eternity, as now is eternity. Reminds me of St Theresa of Avilia who saw eternity as now, the body just as a shell. Yet our minds are too full of science to really grasp the Truth. Yet for such a person is no longer caged by science, because science never did cage us, but like a herd we just follow the unthinking crowd. Rther than seeing that Quantum mechanics. Such transcendental is Spirit, and science can't deal with such things. This poem breaks through materialism and everything else that holds mans spirit back, and in to the atmosphere of clear, unlimited vision....

Less thinking = more loving...

As the Dalai Lama says. We have a great book, but fail to understand it.

Mother Theresa lived with God, yet couldn't feel Him because she was/is one with Him.

Centering prayer brings us closer to God, and the closer we are to God the devil can't touch. The reason the Devil couldn't touch Christ is because he can't see the humble, the truly humble and not the david copperfield Uriah Heaps kinda 'umble....


A mystic masterpiece... To live this way, you have said what Jesus' message was, with the loss of self....

I dream of heaven with a love that is without bounds. The love that is shown to me here, is but a glimpse of what TRUE and ABSOLUTE love will be. Incredible poem.

God bless you. Kathy

"If you knew love,
you would not dream of heaven
and you would not fear hell;"

I have to agree. Love is the only thing that takes suffering away, regardless of circumstance in life. With love, everything seems possible. ~ Sara

I hope John didn't find out how wrong he was about there being no hell.

Powerfully thought provoking, Kate, but I believe there IS a Heaven and a Hell - still, excellent writing.

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.

Excellent writing sweet lady,Happy Valentine's Day Kate...Hugsssssss

Kate,

Imagine all the people living life in peace, John Again ; Now that's what seperates heaven from hell. "Wherever we are gathered in His name, there is love." Peace, Love and Blessings to You Always, Paul.
