Waiting To Exhale

What I knew before birth
  I will know after death

This slight pause called life
  —where the soul takes a breath

(Villanova Pennsylvania: November, 2018)

Very interesting perspective Kurt, wouldn't it be good if that information(in the afterlife) could be remembered and be useful for living now! Wonder if there's a reason why no one remembers the before or afterlife?

I think sometimes in dreams we do. Thanks John Kurt
