Seeking Immortality in natural form of things, is futile, being only a temporal fix. It is within the very paranormal heart of all things, from which comes it's immortality. For the now of Love substains all things. The essence is paranormal, the form is temporal! I am not for sure if this is comprehensibility, of your own personal thought. Sincerely,"Big Love" Moses

Mom used to say what we don't know can't hurt us. Perhaps it also preserves our innocense. Nice bit of insight here, Bill. Love, Carolyn
