Third Place

Introspection - Night Art Gallery

there are very blurred lines between what is coincidence and what is augury omen, or fore-token for in my dreams and meditation I have been confronted with regret and shame sorrow, and grief about my life thus far my past is full of condemnation and self-reproach humiliation, self-punishment and tears sending me on a journey of soul-searching oh, I went for a palm-reading for crystal gazing, for tea-leaf reading and tarot reading with no real results in my meditation I am looking for a sign some signal or manifestation some evidence of an omen but can find none so, I have concluded that my life as it is with its experiences is the same as everyone more or less

Deep musings here, Constance. Very few accept the truth, which begins with the clear recognition that we are spirit, eternal living light, having an experience of earth life in duality in human form. Therefore, we are not this body-mind but the spirit that indwells it, which is one with God. Why are we here? To feel contrast, to grow in love and wisdom.

Hi Constance, sounds like you were having a difficult day when you wrote this. Memories keep haunting me as well. I can't but think that it is portent to the rest of my life. I hope that your smile will again shine bright Sweet Lady. Ralph

This deep poem of revelation is concerning because, as you concluded, it seems to be familiar. I think everyone has down days. I'm relieved that the conclusion is that you are a normal conscientious person. Keep some chocolate handy.

Hilda, thank you for the visit and comment, yes, we feel that we are alone in our feelings, only to find out that lots of people have the same feelings, thus we are normal, let me go get that chocolate now, blessings ~

The past is best left behind... focus on the future and see things more clearly, dear heart.
