They can take their Big Battles with them

Green Peace or Hunt for the Royal Sun- trying to get off a planet poisoned by hate and greed- warlike ideologies armed to the rotten teeth hoping to find a New World out of here-out there hanging waiting in out of reaches space Beyond the Sun, the Moon, the Earth, et al. A Perfect 10 Solar System. This Self-sufficient Blue Pearl blueprint Mindfully designed with Neverending cycles of renewal after upheaval, regeneration after destruction- Krakatoa springs to mind - a symbol of regenesis hope... The gravity of standing upright all over the earth grounds us to the world right under our feet We are barefoot and free Right here in our own back garden. An apple falling from a tree-did the sky just fall on my head? Does it take rocket science to search for answers? Imagination is not always fabulously expressed to see how many similar ways to escape man's past, present, future... With heightened mind, Newton searched the Scriptures with soul searching questions, wrote more than enough about what was relevant to warriorlike quest- Focus fixated on the origins of his earthborn mind Needing to find his spiritual image revealed in endless space. The physical brain laid out in its original state of innate need for never-ending learning So we can reinstate the quest to find the fringes of divine knowledge- On our earthly doorstep. Aqua M Deep Dive Poem 10/02/2024 Keys from the Word: Isaiah 55:7 - 11."For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so my ways are higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts." Ecclesiastes 3: 10-13." He has made everything beautiful in it's time. He has even put eternity in their heart, yet mankind will never find out the work the true God has found from the start to the finish. "

Man is surrounded by mysterious ideas, a creation of the Almighty. We can never understand them. Our minds are too small to understand. One day we will.

Hi Victor, so true, we are often intrigued, in a childlike manner, by what we can't grasp... It puts us in a state of awe, and wonderment. So much to discover, we hardly got bored as children... Just enjoyed what we found fascinating. It was an innocent search with little minds-very sad many children can't "go out to play" these days. I enjoyed your welcome visit, introspective comments! (((Warm Hugs))) Aqua M.

Your poem had such depth and was brilliantly created. I love that you saw our solar system as a perfect 10 and earth is this Self-sufficient Blue Pearl --- delightful images! The Newtonian and Biblical references (at the end) added powerful depth to your poem. I also liked the last verse that speaks to our reinstate our quest to find divine knowledge. Such a unique and powerful poem! Loved it on many different levels. Have a great evening. Sara

Heart warming input from you, Sara-this is a subject close to my heart... Humans often sidestep accountability and responsibility, maybe because of struggling to keep an unbalanced world of economic greed from "running out of steam..." There are also many well intentioned "plans and projects" for saving this planet, yet they rarely seem to " get off the ground..." Yet there is Hope... Hope you have a great day/evening.

Dear Aqua, Your poem is a powerful punch! You set up a fascinating clash. The desires for a "Perfect 10” feels relatable in today's world. But then the twist! We are already on a " Blue Pearl," needing not spaceships but "renewal" like Krakatoa. You ground us while questioning if the answer lies beyond our own planet. The Newton reference adds depth, asking if "rocket science" blinds us to simpler truths. We need to search for God not in space, but on our own "doorstep." ! - Wonderful Read! Blessings, Daniel

Hi Daniel, so pleased to have your visit and encouraging comment - the thoughts were" set off" by another poet's poem here... It's good to be here, in isolation there is stagnation. Very grateful for your interaction. (I grew up a bit isolated, and "lived in books, and through books - my mind is always searching, and trying to put one and one together... Everything is so interlinked-it's a fascinating planet we live on... Warm Regards, Daniel! Aqua.

your words resonate with me...especially the opening lines...I sometimes want to escape the toxicity of our planet--so much war, etc. I also liked these lines: The gravity of standing upright all over the earth grounds us to the world right under our feet We are barefoot and free Right here in our own back garden. I loved the exploratory nature of your poem. A masterpiece indeed. hugs, Sara

Love your comment, Sara-I think many feel that the only way out is to "escape" the woes here. Lockdown was a huge shock to the whole world. Yet the pollution started to clear up, and pink dolphins came back in harbors where they were almost gone. (Just one example.) It's not the planet that's the problem. Humans are out of touch with the amazing natural world. Your poetry is calming and mindful...soothing to many here. (((Warm Hugs))) Aqua M

Your poem delves into the existential quest for transcendence and renewal amidst the turmoil of human existence and the wonders of the universe.. The conclusion underscores the innate human capacity for curiosity and discovery, emphasizing the importance of never-ending learning and spiritual growth. It encourages readers to embark on a journey of self-discovery and enlightenment, finding meaning and fulfillment in the pursuit of divine knowledge

So true, we might go through "existential crises..." Even as Job did... That's what makes us human, keeps us humble, keeps us searching for the meaning of life... In our quest for eternal life, humans are inextricably linked, and this enhances our empathy for anyone suffering.... (((Warm Hugs)) Aqua M.

I love how you have traced out my thoughts expressed here-it is very comforting to feel understood. Your visit very much appreciated, and valued. Yes, it is a scientific fact that why we die is not understood, for the most part, by those who have "higher learning" under their belt. Isaac Newton's quest for answers were recorded in documents he wrote, attesting to the existence of a Divine Creator. He studied the Bible "inside out" passionately. (I'm on my own little journey... :)

Its a is a thought-provoking exploration of humanity's place in the cosmos and the eternal quest for transcendence and renewal. It invites readers to reflect on the interconnectedness of all life and the boundless potential for growth and transformation that exists within each of us.

What a profound and powerful write this is dead aqua! The opening lines especially hit so strong for me! “ trying to get off a planet poisoned by hate and greed- warlike ideologies armed t” this hits so strong for me as i resonate too, in a world so cruel and evil, we can only try to be kind and be a ray of light to those in need, i guess thats all we can do, but sadly it continues, your last lines especially the newton stood out for me! What a thought provoking write! Pleasure reading your work

I so much appreciate your welcome visit here, Ink Empress... The concepts promoted in film, the propaganda used to idealize humans battling against each other to bring unity and peace, dystopian futures filled with horror stories, science fiction etc, are easily accepted as the truth we face... I see them for the fantasies they are, escapism for many. No judgment on needing entertainment-we all do! Yes, let's bring hopeful thinking to the fore. Your twin sister is blessed to have you... So is PS. (((Big Hugs!)))

Love it. So much to explore, so little time, at least in the present. Yes, many intelligent men and women had an interest in, even love, for the Bible

Our eternity minded hearts have an eternal future right here, on this earth. Love that you know and understand this misunderstood concept... Why would we be given the need to live forever, with our present brain capacity in its human state able to continue learning for billions of years. Non stop learning on the cards. Convinced me.

A pleasure to have you visit, Tom, you would know how I feel about "Deep Diving" into the waters of truth... Thirst quenching. My search for Divine truth started at a young age, my thirst for "finding out" led my curiosity down many paths. Even the theory of evolution, myths and legends of many different cultures, fairy tales, nature-till God found me. Given me so much hope in a hopeless world. So much searching for eternal life. I loved finding the answers...
