We are unfamiliar to this edge
of understanding.

As if we stand between questions that
hang to the weight of their own
grave importance.

Answers are always more than
they may seem.

Perhaps a shadow lies in a pool of
truth...and light is merely
casting borders?

Where do we fall when our last
step has brought us to
no reason?

The edge is always sharp
and sudden.

And the unfamiliar belongs to
every breath released.

In time...this -

May be our only understanding.

It is a decidedly sharp edge,
understanding,
but when one is very careful with it...

it opens a whole new world.

Well done, Eric!

Questions . . .
Questions are more important than answers.

I was continually asking myself this morning, "where is the edge of the scaffolding, where is the edge of the roof?"

The truth of the answers was evident.

(sigh) The great beyond is no state of mind, and falling from the precipice can sure have its rewards! (big hugggsssssss) God Bless You, sweet friend, I love this, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Eric, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton
