Reverie is a source of pleasure when boredom places contently setting in like rigor mortis. She said 'mom, those were better days' I told her there will always be days of life where other days are better. Reverie you see. Fond remembrance of an old life. She doesn't understand it yet how many lives we go through in one lifetime alone, how many times we die and are reborn into a different scene one level to the next with places in between where we sit dangling legs off the edge of watching ships go by dipping toes into reverie. ~ |

"one level to the next with places in between where we sit dangling legs off the edge of watching ships go by dipping toes into reverie." Very well said, Dixie! Yes, I guess we go there quite often. |

just dipping my toes in again She doesn't understand it yet how many lives we go through in one lifetime alone, how many times we die and are reborn into a different scene Some times you do truly learn something new each day a poet who cares |

Dear Passing Shadows, Dr. James Fowler is known as the author of the stages of faith development. I once had the honor to sit under this great teacher. I saw between each stage of faith, a dying process. I told him these stages in dying fit into his faith development. He thank me since this was a new insight for him. Yes, we "die" many times in life as we "grow up!" But Dr. Fowler warns that between each stage a fixation may development and growth stops. He has shown that institutions are fixated at the adolescent stage. In fact, he has shown that most adults are, too. Why? The dying process is feared and avoided. Little do these know they are the walking dead. Blessings on you! |
