Flat Earthers

I think, Flat-earthers are abundant – those who prefer visible planes, never taking that leap of faith at horizons; who would rather focus on rosy hues out from a radiant center; seeing sun rising and setting, oblivious to the fact that they very well are walking upside down in a weightless universe... I think, love can be like that~ walking upside down in a weightless universe...death may also have an up-righting twist...the other side of a life-coin, that a computer generated society refuses to lift and turn over – willing to rewrite any chance for future reward, thinking some new program will negate the old desktop with its often used icons linking with damnation.

So one for the touchy feely folk here.' But many Of us have spent time in that mode, once upon Arrgh ' Well you get my drift I guess ? have come To a realization, that true life will begin after we Leave this world.' Anyway yet we must not go Under our own hands, its Gods perrogative '

Amazing how we can each draw a somewhat different line from this work. I told my husband here lately, after hearing him say something about being dizzy, isn't it amazing that the earth is spinning around, going around the sun, and all of the universe is moving through space, but we don't get dizzy, fall off, or something much worse. I enjoyed reading this one. Thanks for dropping by my page and leaving a a nice comment. Sara

Thank you, Sara, for your wise, poignant comments. A lot people are not of aware, seeing the universe from their own little portholes. Blessings my friend.
