Then I'll Know It's Time to Go

             Someday I shall be happy to say

               Everything in life prepared me 

                 for this ~ my very last day

I hope so, too. If not, I don't believe it will overly concern us, but I don't want to belittle your profound and relatable point. (Serious question: will anyone on Soup know when such a day comes for you so those who care about you will know? My family will notify Andrea.)

Ahhh someday.. this is really so poignant and thought-provoking dear Gershon, most of the times I keep wondering why the atrocities and the struggles, what is it, where do we have to reach with this level of resilience? And the only answer that touches my heart is that this is the only way to reach to our own selves... Finally.. someday.. when we have no more lessons to learn.. when we are one with our spiritual essence.. so much you've said within a few words! And this ofcourse is a FAVE 💫⭐💎🌙 Sending you light and best wishes always! Keep shininnnn and inspiring! 🧚 🍁 💛 🍂
