What more?
Than the gleam of eyes that have seen the light,  
now brightened within a fertile mind.

Eyes that, though young, have experienced the
rush, the warm glow upon the realization of
birth within.

What more might one ask to grasp within the waiting
palm of one’s hand?  As a gentle breeze flows
from the fields onto the plain of thought.  

Listen now, for in this moment of time, one shall
become ever enlightened by the presence of the
nurtured seed, the sated hunger.  

And, upon this grasp, one shall grow.  Stretching
skyward into the softness of clouds laden with
knowledge.    And then, soar the heavens of
brilliance, grasping the hand of tutelage.  

Learn, as only the waking unselfish mind can.
And dream endless thoughts upon the
fields of newborn grain....as one grows
and grasps the vine of life.

(big hugggssssssss) Oh Barry, this wonderful lesson reminded me of "sloth" being one of the Seven Deadly Spins, and that life is beautiful to me because we get to learn and be and if we never get to learn and dream, it is only a living ridicule! (smiles) You speak with pure wisdom, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Barry, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Nice way to tell it, and I loved your ending.
Learning in an ongoing process!  It is through that process we let go or our own selfishness and hold fast to our true selves.

Anyway....That's just my take~
You inspire so many good thoughts Barry. Thanks~

Very beautiful, dear Barry. We are all here to learn indeed ... Earth school. And it is a blessing.
Love, Margherita
