Meetings of Minds

  
     Meetings of minds shine brightly…
        flicker erratically… inevitably die...

     Being unique instruments ~
        requiring singular insulants

Another interesting one. One of the greatest pleasures, the meeting of minds, which does seem fleeting.

Thy depth deepens. Need to put this on a plaque somewhere populated that it be contemplated by many. Would be a hoot to hear the different thoughts. Wonder when mine shone it's brightest, they'll probably tell me when 'I get there'. Just tonight, I decided not to leave anymore hugs, just stop writing

Meeting of minds is important to our Creator and with his enlightenment we will shine! Shine on, Gershon!

This poem is like a spark reminding us that every connection of minds, no matter how brief, has its own brilliance. Even if ideas flicker and fade, being a “unique instrument” means you carry your light forward—keep shining, keep creating, keep connecting.
