At a time when the earth was as quiet as a nun but for the rising birds that blocked out the sun as they rose from the marshland to the endless sky. From my place in the future I watch them fly. Through a door in my mind left slightly ajar between my cluttered world and this scene from afar. A vision from long ago, almost as ancient as earth time, yet as sharp and clear as yesterday it lingers in my mind. I cannot see the face turned toward the sky. I do not know the place where these lush marshlands lie. But the memory is alive with a power that defies both death and time. This one majestic moment is the jewel of many lifetimes. Ida Werrett |

The imagery here is beautiful...and it's not so much the marshlands I speak of, but the transference of mind and conscientiousness from the present to a place in the past you can recall so vividly. That is a beautiful thing. Something real special about that place I would think. Michael |

I'm getting hints at reincarnation here. Am I wrong? I ask because I have memories sometimes that I'm not sure are entirely mine. They come in dreams and they feel so familiar at times. I'm glad I came in tonight. "How much is real? So much to question |

You are very perceptive, Temptress. I have always had visions of what I feel are other lifetimes. Thank you for your input. |
