Couplet - Overcome - In the Square Couplet

Present, Future, Past Mind meanders in time, defined - NOW postponed by gulping stale wine: Three vats: Present, Future - then Past! Eckhart Tolle broke free at last When recycled thoughts turn us mad We gaze and chant; go gospel glad Knowing Past-Future is fake time Freed in NOWNESS, we re-tool time

Thanks for your visit, Sir. Belated congrats on POTD, on the DESERT Falling in LOVE/Rain of Human Neighborliness. Im S. African, but I know India never forgets Iran & Iraq ARE SUMERIAN CIViLIZATION. Not to mention Zarathusthra or That Fire Religion's take on Light versus Darkness as perpetual on earth. Maybe the VIRUS SARS-COV2 will bring some sanity, less HUBRIS. shalom, salaam (Ramzaan Kareem/Mubarak) Anil Deo

shalom, shalom GREAT Morning blessings all, especially Maureen M & Harry H. Thanx for talking with me. "Overcome" snuck in as a title. I didnt bring in Jesus because of space; He said "take no thought of tomorrow ... by worrying who will add an iota to their lives?" It is as Buddhists say, "Now is the only PRESENT we will ever own." Eckhart Tolle was in UK when he gave up "thinking" or explode. It is a mystical experience, to be fully PRESENT. And yes, Dear Ones, fun 2 write. ShalomShalom. anil
