Inhabiting Space does wonders on refreshing the tired mind. The subtle hint is a gleam of vegetation in infrared light, the red edge, an infrared image of a pine forest somewhere on the edge of New York viewed from the moon.
"Sometimes I feel like I’m standing
Right in the middle of the moon."
Funny, init, how we are so aware that we are travellers through this era of our being, bedrolls on our back (just come from Lin's page!!), and that is what makes us able to look both backwards and forwards - and apply it to the long-term perspective. Whilst enjoying all that is bountifully offered to us on this plane and cycle of the journey, it also quickens our appetite for what's ahead, in the knowledge that onward is ALWAYS upward!! :)) (Even if the path is downhill for a while, if you get me...) Anyways, doubt is a total no-no as, if given in to, there would be absolutely no reason to get out of bed in the mornin... Possibilities invite us out onto the High Road whilst doubts keep our eyes goin round in circles watchin the old worries tumble-dry themselves down at the Washed Out Landromat of life... Yes, I'm in whimsical mood this evening but I like Inhabiting this Space!! :)) LOL Kate xx
These are realities and facts of life, one needs to be open to changes and learn to adapt. Change is part of life, life is inhabiting space, though never allowing oneself to get too far ahead but just enough, to keep questioning and probing. Mind and thought provoking poetry Jude, beautiful write.
It is humbling to be human,isn't it? Sometimes I feel like I am soaring into eternity in a colorful Hot Air Balloon, only to find that it is teathered in the reality of this time and space. The reminder that I must complete my lessons before I am allowed to advance, keeps me walking on terra-firma while funneling inspiration from the cosmos. Mind stimulating poetry, Jude.
Take care,
Sherry
This "space" we inhabit can be as circumscribed as a droplet of water on a blade of grass, yet as ample as a mighty river crossing the vastness of a meadow; as intimate as a cocoon, yet as exposed as a butterfly; the whole universe and the whole void and the whole vastness in between. And your poetry always makes me consider all this and much more, in wonder... with a start of recognition (and then, more wonder).

Hmmm, I wonder when your birthday is? I keep wondering how much longer do I have to know of life too. Time is really flying by now. I cannot understand why people insist on wasting their precious few moments on this Earth by destroying love, by embracing hate, power and greed. Such a shame. Peace to you dear Jude. Be well. ~ Sara
A brilliant mindscape of life's multidimensional fluctuations. Flows with skill and vision between collective dynamics and individual destiny.

You never set out to do this, Jude (or maybe it's exactly what you wished) but these cuplets and I bonded... we blended.
It brought me back inside me. It was a place I've always retreated to and I'd not been there for a bit. Thank you. katy xox
What a beautiful write. I picture Central Park/Strawberry Fields just sitting on the ground and feeling your words travel through my body and soul.
A masterpiece of words.
Oh! Wonderful write! "the memory of stars", this is where we were birthed. Deep space voyager, journey on. You remind us of our place in the universe....
Excellent write, Jude!! Sometimes we just take ourselves off and imagine thoughts that are powerful and intense. I love it! Well done. Peace. Joyce

Self inspection this morning, eh, Jude? Very nicely penned is this fighting-back-the angst and these lines spoke volumes, "And when the dreams of man / Do not resemble the whims of mankind"
Brilliant philosophy as you reflect on the intricacies of your life and of mankinds role in the universe. You are a true master of reflection when it comes to these writes.
In the end, for the righteous and fair among us, it will truly be a dynamic journey celebrating the life we lived, and the eternity that is rewarded to those of us who understand and seek to know The Grand Creator we tend to refer to as God.
Spoken with the heart and soul of a true spiritual explorer who never forgets the next horizon may have fresh enlightenment! One who knows how to ovrcome doubts! Splendid poem, Jude!
