A Matter of Truth

In ponderings of wanderings Of contemplations incomplete In one’s life are found blunderings All human concepts have conceit Bound of the precept of the truth In ponderings of wanderings Serpent slithers, always aloof Nary a proof of his spawning Many lives he is squandering His power is in his disguise In ponderings of wanderings By pretentious love, his devise Lifting the voices of trumpet Of truth never the plundering The love of truth is triumphant In ponderings of wanderings ================= In honor of Dr Ram And contest

The concepts in life are just not perfected yet Dane, as you know!.... I have been taught more understanding by the precept Himself in the last two years... that has brought my soul's human concept in line with the true precept which is life, than in the previous 30 years. There is a major two parts that will eventually come together, which is the mind concept and the heart precept, when they do one will understand more fully the mystery. Agape, Moses

In ponderings and wanderings of contemplations incomplete. It makes perfect sense to me, John, I do it all the time. I think Dr. Mehta will read the deep meaning in your words. You are a man of deep faith that is easy to read. Thank you for my placement in your Give Me Your Best Shot Contest. It meant the world to me.
