Thank you. And to you, too .

Just finished wrapping gifts.
Heading out at daybreak.

Luv & Peace,
from me

'cept millimeters paved in luv.

Beautiful sentiment/prayer.

And if not -even- in this age, all He created will, one very fine day.

Peace, and good will to all mankind, in Christ Jesus.

Thank you for saying that. My friends have all told me the same thing.

I don't quite understand why my heart and mind tend to hang on, in hope, on certain rare occasions--

Sigh.

:)

Rambling on time.

Well, thank you. :)

However, be oh so careful when any wind, word or breath
or song, understood,
blows you away.

( something I tell myself )


To answer your question....or try to...

Most of my dreams are break-through dreams. In other words, I hardly use symbols to express feelings and thoughts in dreams. Nothing is veiled, usually.

Words serve me well, when I need to express, honestly-- yet can remain somewhat cloaked.
but. still. simply.

And also....there is this:

Row row row your boat
Gently down the stream
Merrily merrily merrily merrily
-------Life------
is but a Dream.

:)

And, what do write about?

Happy Holidays to you.

White noise.

Sometimes, can only get to sleep, when I intentionally hear 'another sound'. besides my own awake/alert/intrusive mind blabbing on.

Invite an 'other' booming silence. Welcome it. Like the start of any movie, when I never hit "play.". And all I hear is a repetition of musical notes....waiting for ever for me...

To hit play.

while I waste away, peacefully, in Dreamland.

:)

Agree. I might call that ' energy' the spirit God breathed into you. You are breathing his given breath.

Scripture says the life of the flesh is in the blood.

And blood/ours dies.

His blood shed, was for the Life of the world. His blood and body.....given so we will all remember,...and someday understand what He did, when He laid down, gave up, His Life, that sacrifice, to identify wholly with our death experience
..and then to take it by it's chains and break it ...
In His Resurrection . For all mankind.

Behold the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world. - John Baptist

I suppose there are many who believe the testimony given in the scriptures ( Bible) --that there is One who not only physically suffered and died, but was also raised out of death, a Victorious Savior, for all mankind. The second Adam. The first brought sin and death to all mankind from him.

This One God sent though, His Son, brings life to all. Conquered death.

He is risen.

Merry Christmas. :)

Mig..when I write, it's naked honesty...
I am a woman, so prob yes, to many men, complicated.

But here's what I told my 26 yr old son...who is in a long term relationship--

Women are not all that complicated!

Just be kind to her. Take out the trash. Rub her back and neck. Give affection and listen to any complaints she may voice. Take them seriously. And act accordingly...since you love her.

My poems these days are just an expression of emotional pain, an experience I am walking through, one which I truly believed would end happily. And the many layers of pain, are relentless-- due to a fine thread of hope, still. And I'm trying my best to express nakedly and simply.

I probably should not even be on this site--
I am a woman, still in luv.

But he doesn't luv me. He never even met me, in person, face to face, yet.

I only know him thru inkless tones.

More sad poems, to come. :)

Thanks 2 all, for reading...and commenting.

You are also God-breathed, a spirit.

He purposed you with His breath.

You are more than you yet, realize.

About hell

It is in Hebrew and Greek

Grave.

When we die, our physical body dies.

Understand that first.

Flesh dies.

Interesting to me is how it appears the belief from last two posters is that,...
Flesh is all we are.

Is that what you believe?

The ears pick up the unheard

I can only speak now from a Judaic/ Christian paradigm. Though I realize others hold varying religious beliefs, for example:
Reincarnation and such.

That said, this is quite a hot, and highly disputed topic, even among those who hold scripture as true.

Where I have 'landed' thus far....all basically boils down to what timing will be necessary, for each individual person's resurrection. Since I hold true ALL will be eventually raised.

Now, to muddy ( or clean up) the waters a lil more....Personally, I just think it is as simple as this: Is the person alive or dead, BEFORE they physically die?

Did they, as Jesus warned about...die "in their sins?"

He also quoted referencing how Abraham, Isaac, Jacob's God...is a God of the Living, not God of the dead.
That's pretty radical, considering He Himself had not yet been raised from His own experience of death, as " firstborn from the dead."

To simplify....I suppose it will come down to what "death" actually means....even scripturally.

Who does God see as "dead" even though still moving around in a physical body, on earth? Who does God see as "alive" in this same regard?

And how does a ( to coin a popular show) walking dead one....cross that barrier to become ALIVE? In His sight?

He is the God of the living, Jesus confirmed that, according to the scriptures.

So, I suppose it is just this, as far as where anyone goes upon their physical death...alive to God ( in Christ ) ....or not.

If yes, alive, nothing can separate us from the love of God in Christ. Not even death, scripture states. Not current anything, even.

So this, I think, is why the Apostle Paul spoke of different times pertaining to
" resurrections."

All will be raised. Every knee will bow and every tongue acclaim ( that's a happy word in Greek, not a say it mad hating your guts God before you send me to the make believe endless torment Satan made up place so many preachers bought into)
ACCLAIM that Jesus Christ is Lord...to the glory of God the Father.

There will come the time of judgement...before the One who is seated on a great white throne. The Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world.

He alone is Worthy to sit in "that" place when even all the rest of the dead, not previously raised, will be.
He alone, Who created all, and knows all the facts of each of our lives and circumstances...innate or learned, is Worthy to set it ALL right.

This is what biblical justice truly means. To set things RIGHT.

God is Love. And as a good Father, He will correct those who need it, are dead in their sins yet, at the Great White Throne judgement time, He is raising everybody who has not yet been raised in the 1st and 2nd resurrection, because
He is a good Father. His will be done on earth. He disciplines every son ( daughter) He receives.

He is the Savior of all men, especially those who believe. 1 Timothy 4:10

To add my 2 cents...

Fwiw...

I agree that He makes everything beautiful
in His time. I'm speaking from a Judaic Christian
worldview. Believing the scriptures.

That said....things are not all that beautiful, yet, in what the scripture calls," this wicked eon."

We are still experiencing the knowledge of good
AND evil.....that fruit. We now know sorrow,death, pain,suffering. Separation--- from those we even love dearly,
for many reasons-- death itself being a major one.

This will not be for ever...as many of us who hold true...
His word, the scriptures, and His sent Son, the Living
Word, Who spoke all into existence, including times
and seasons...all.

Bottom line,as far as I can see...it comes down to this:

Either God is a good God, and if so, then has a good
purpose in mind....His will.

For those of us who also experience all the evil too, yet trust He is loving and good...and has a good purpose in creating it all, is where our paths from ' unbelievers'
truly departs.

It is no surprise for any student of scripture to see that God said it is Him who also creates evil/ destruction.

He actually planted all the trees in the garden. Scripture states this plainly.

And yes, He does give a time for all things under
the heavens.

This wicked eon will pass away. For the victory
and power of His resurrection.... runs parallel,
even now. The full impact on His entire cosmos..yet to be seen, by all.

He is the Savior of all men, especially those
who believe. 1st Timothy 4:10

You tucked away your need for love in song
That's where I found you hiding all along
I recognized the place, those distant sighs...
Set out to journey there ( my own surprise)

With inkless tones, I skipped on stars, like flight
And sang your lullybye from morn till night

The ancient scrolls were pebbles getting there-
His living stones washed up on the same shore

One said, The trip was hard, He took it all away...
Till all I had were tears and time to pray

I looked around and saw the many more
Who too were washed ashore thru His fiery Door

My gaze though, kept turning back to you
I wondered if you noticed me there, too.
I thought I saw you look my way one time
It haunted me to feel something so fine.

Poetry helps me to express the pain I now feel. Thank you for reading. Appreciated.

All intrusive thoughts
of him
come
Messages from others
mean nothing

Is he awake or sleeping?
Dating another?

Such a fine circle of hope

Till he wakes up to see
It was me, all along,
waiting....

to luv him.

The woman of his dreams
he sang about
on his guitar..
to find

Sometimes holy ones
are dense.

:)

Isn't it amazing
when my heart did flips
crazy moves
and he never knew

about horizontals
or crosses

diagonals when told
only made him look away

as if a nothing place
existed

there must be
a place his heart exists

Beyond his yesterday
