THOUGHTS ON MEMORIES

THOUGHTS ON MEMORIES
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
what are memories?
echoes from another time?
vistas to the past?

captured memories
faces staring back at me
from scrapbook pages

memories connect
who I was to who I am
without them I’m lost

do memories die
no brain keeping them alive?
“perhaps not,” say I

maybe vibrations
sight unseen to naked eyes?
echoes across time?

Joe Dimino Date: 8/24/2025 6:06:00 AM Indeed! There is individual mind, and Universal Mind, the amalgamated flow of all thought-streams, both past, present and future. Thought is the essence within and behind all physical manifestation. Consciousness is man's goal. Physical stuff changes all the time, but Divine Mind, is the immortal blueprint, without which, there is no living reality. Find the contact method, and all things are possible. Great questions, you pose. Great writing! Endearing photo. Brings back memories. Login to Reply Sara Etgen-Baker Date: 8/24/2025 5:36:00 PM I appreciate your deep and insightful words, Joe. I agree with what you said..I've read a great deal about the individual mind and the Universal Mind as well as the Divine mind. Have you ever read the book titled COSMIC CONSCIOUSNESS? thanks for stopping and for your profound words...wishing you a pleasant evening, Sara
