interesting read well done

Awesome!

Short, but, oh, so sweet.

... to keep faith in the righteous vision and perspective you have of a person is fully exonerating and maintains the stability of any relationship when the other is intent on inhabiting only their self-woven cocoon of delusions. Saintly behaviour indeed! Whether our pedestals are self-erected or imposed on us by others, they can be a total pain in de arse and a good friend is one who helps us dismantle them and who suffers with us the potential damage of their falling timber. My, I'm feeling so Stevie Nicks today... perhaps I'll repost San Mistico... !! :)) xx

Very powerful

Flying free is love for me. I can't see real love not being free.

Sometimes we need to pay devotion to our angels or their wings have a tendency to ride the currents on an updraft of dispair whether real or imagined.

interesting and thought provoking write. Lady J

Exonerated is the key here. To be freed from what grates against the soul is always the better choice; even if it hurts for awhile.
Stand strong!

Most powerful Jude!!

Love Tinka

There seems to be a lot said within your words here Jude. You took it to heart and asended back to the heaven you felt most comfortable in. A lot said here, thank you for sharing.

I suppose the term saint should be saved for those who have lived larger than life or at least devoted their life to the betterment of others at the expense of themselves. Being a "good person" in life does not bestow upon us sainthood, even in our death. For someone to have faith in us, despite our humanly flaws, is a blessing far greater than being placed upon a pedesteal from which we would surely fall from grace. You pack a powerful punch in so few words here, Jude, yet there is a sense of turmoil as you try to find the balance between the physical and the spiritual. Excellent penning.
Take care,
Sherry

Beautifully and heartwarmingly stated....

The components of life and the immensity of the sky. Demystifying a saint makes us the lone survivor. Righteous Rejection is in alignment with invocation and forgiveness, focusing mind and stilling the spirit. Yours is still a world of sacred honor, Jude...vows, oaths, and offerings...

Faith and spirituality are multifaceted concepts. Their abstraction makes us turn to more tangible realities that will take us on a journey.
The result may be a revelation or a fatal illusion.
The layers of interpretation here, take us from the earthly to the divine... with an edge.

You have something here. Nowadays, more peeps are realising about the infinite rather than the man made caged.

As anessa says, some see just the finger, and not the moon that it's pointing towards...

and there lies the juxtaposition, the irony of it all; such a difference between the religious and the spiritual [like pharisees and saducees]
a true faith sees beyond....as your eyes most assuredly do

Wow!!!!! Jude, this is AWESOME!!!!!

Very interesting, thought provoking lines. You may want to change imagine for consider. 'without a prayer' is really good as well as 'never relinquished my faith...'. This is one of the best. Cheers
