Drowning in Einstein

 

Can you imagine not being?

No, Of course you cannot.

For on some level, once we exist,

We will always be.

 

Once we are here, born into existence,

We are forever.

The elements, the essence, we…,

We will in some form be.

 

Do we also exist in our futures, our pasts and now,

As in a parallel universe, perhaps all at the same time,

Or maybe in several lifetimes, who knows?

Maybe, just maybe, Albert Einstein was on to something,

And I think I am drowning here in too much deep thought!

:) ! Reminds me of all the nights in college when a bunch of us went on until dawn about, "Is that table really there?" and "What
a b o u t that tree that fell in the forest when no one was around?" I wasn't much of a student in those days, but I was fascinated by such philosophical dilemmas. Did God wind up the world like a clock? OW. My brain is gettin' hot. . .too. . .Thanks for the fun read, girlfriend! Hope all is well with you. More than!! <3 Phyllis <3

Oh yes i have drowned into to much thought
I’ll tell you, I question many things
For example what would the world be like without
Humanity
But i think it’s good

Wishing you Peace Love and Light….Hugsss...Yolie

Better to be "drowning in too much thought" than to be drying up in a desert of "thoughtlessness." I find your write replete with substance for reflection and very meaningful, Karen. Thank you. Love and best wishes,

Regis

You do bring up some good points and ones we all sometimes ponder..are there other planes of existance that explain the deja veux, the doppelgangers, the omens and a hundred other life unexplainables.

I know the feeling about drowning in deep thought, I have a major problem with all that "thinking." That is why the latest book I am writing, "God?: The Novel" is giving me so much damn trouble. Lost of questions here, food for much thought as it has been for the ages.

Sometimes I read mathematics books just to bug my brain, promising that if it doesn't get sharper I will try to resolve that Tesla problem.
Einstein maybe hadn't problems with intelligence! LOL

I think we all have often thought about this and I know I always was from the beginning and always will be until the end of time Karen. Now I will rest my thoughts. Thank you for sharing.

Well you know what Einstein said about the things that go on beyond the event horizon of a black hole ... "We shouldn't try too hard to think about these things..."

Very nicely done, Karen.

Once born we are spirit that can never be destroyed but always seeking our Creator and living a life of meditation always loving those around us and looking forward to what has been prepared for us as we leave this world and enter God's domain prepared for His followers.
