The Wheel of Time

Though we know the moon not source, we snuggle to its cooler light...at times seeming more approachable, less imposing, more accepting we heighten such sleep inclined toward our own truth we lather most all with a glazing of soothing Lies, politics our rule in void in contrast to rightly being juxtaposition of body with soul~ the space between (the opaque we frequent) where we live, at the edge of clarity, avoiding in the shadow before dawn, at dusk where the oval turns to wear on the treads of the wheel of time….

the gap at each polarity interchange, between darkness and light, like sunset or sunrise, outbreath and I breath, two thoughts, the gap between thought and translation into action ~ poised therein, the truth is known. Enjoyed your soulful musings Joe

This is such a deeply evocative and soul stirring write with explores the dimension of self-introspection and insight in such an impactful way.Very true, sometimes our souls tend to run away from the bright radiance of sunlight and find comfort in the moonlight which doesn't distinguish between truth and lies, rather gives a space in between.But,it becomes quite complex when even after standing in front of the truths we don't align to its acceptance and hide away.Yet, above that is wheel of time

Sometimes those threads run pretty thin, and we need to make ourselves skinny to enter in, that space of the in between where we can breathe easy, your words are always inked deep, the saying on my business card says " between heaven and I there is you and I " that says it all. Have a great day Joe

We are what we are...human -- I don't think that a Divine Creator would want more nor less of us. That you, Andrew. Blessings.
