It Takes a Loss

Sadly, it takes a loss to know what one had and misses; as anything not worked for, or rightly fought for, is not worth having, regardless of its monetary value – for one's soul, though it can be sold can never be bought back, only redeemed...by one who believes it is priceless, far greater than the wealth of a world.

Hello Joe ... how true indeed. The soul does not point towards greed as money does - thanks again Joe - Lindsay

Hi Lindsay; great comment! Ain't that the truth -- the soul knowing it deathless, transcending.

Wow Joe, how right you are! A poignant write with a universal message: We don't know what we have until we lose it. Blessings, Paulette

Good work Joe, yes, I agree, I will add the journey to a higher plane of consciousness is drought with human fragility, in my case, only God's Grace watches over me...
