A Group of People in a Meditation Room, Walls Decorated with Blue ...

a hush swept through the room like a draft sliding under an old door slowly it made its presence known until our awareness was undeniable our minds were frozen in a different state and time a time of being and knowing

The state of mind can be brutal when it comes to being and knowing...but then again it can be most uplifting as well. Depends on which side of the door you are on when the draft slips through. Nicely written, Bill. Your friend from NJ...Charlie

I like your comment, Charlie. The same thing is true if a person has a drug experience ... good trip / bad trip. Have a great week, my friend. Bill

Bill, To be at peace in your heart is a great blessing. Some of the unspeakable turmoil in the world right now comes from so many not having found it. I pray they do.

Me too. Suz. I wish everyone would just chill a little. None of us need all of this hate and craziness. Blessings my friend. Bill

In the silence, all is still...now I know the meaning of a word-drop, and the ripple voice of eternal sea. Lovely write, my friend. And the image is perfect. When we still ourselves, surround ourselves with Divine Light first, presence heightens every vibration of one's being. And we just know, without a doubt.

Have you ever read any of the James Reddfield books, like. "The 9th Insight" I think you would enjoy them. One of the insights dealt with vibration and closeness to God. Soup mail me if you're interested in more info on the books. Bill

I read this two or three times, Bill. Was it a religious experience, a seance, an alien encounter… decided it mattered not, but I do reckon that ‘first contact’ is more likely to be as you described than some mighty ship hovering over St Paul’s Cathedral. So whatever you had in mind, it did get me thinking. Enjoyed muchly. Terry

More of an out-of-the-body experience, Terry. I've had quite a few experiences that I'm not even sure I believe they really happened. LOL Glad it got your thinking though. When you get to thinking, we get more poetry to read. :-) Have a great week, my friend. Bill

this poem is beautiful, Bill...it reminds me of the meditation time after yoga class, especially the time of being and knowing. You write such extrordinary poetry!
