When Heaven Opened Up

"When Heaven Opened Up"
And when Heaven opened up There, the dragon finally approached; St George embraced Her Truth The mother waiting for an apology that never came, withdrew Her sword Her heart gone all Light, full and golden, is seen to do the unthinkable, exchanges forgiveness with the heartbroken, the one far fallen, who by necessity has finally won Her only freedom gate token; She remains behind standing poetic with the soliloquy guards dimensionless, watching over the written not spoken (LadyLabyrinth / 2020) gvlm/scm
"So Heavy I Fell Through the Earth" / Grimes https://youtu.be/iH0kfH04U68
"Sometimes you have to lose to win". "We must develop and maintain the capacity to forgive. He who is devoid of the power to forgive is devoid of the power to love. There is some good in the worst of us and some evil in the best of us. When we discover this, we are less prone to hate our enemies." "Sweet mercy is nobility's true badge." "The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong." "If you ever get a second chance in life for something, you’ve got to go all the way."
"Mother is the name for God in the lips and hearts of little children." William Makepeace Thackeray

In the end it all comes down to love

In the end it is the Higher Self that makes the choice, it is a 'soul' decision which may involve Love, depending on strength of character. Without Love, there is no forgiveness. So perhaps you are correct. Tomorrows are not guaranteed, particularly in our world at present. 2020. One would want to make sure their 'house' is in order, should the journey pass quickly into the next phase. Because, of course, there is a "next phase", it just doesn't all "fade to Black" and then you are "nothing". The "Journey" continues. The "Great Mystery", our "great mystery" opens up and continues. If I had to make a choice to save someone with my token (who required it more than myself), I would choose the least likely recipient in my life. My child doesn't require it, she will get to the "best place" on her own merit.

As for 'until death do us part", hard copy or not, perhaps for me, "the real thing" will be delivered in the next life.... err, chapter ;). But surely, this is what contracts are all about. Some are destined to fulfill those contracts in another life; but when you come down to the nuts and bolts of it, we are all living contracts in the now. Aren't we? I guess we come back to the "Soul" thing. Which equates with "Truth".
