Once upon a time even clowns were known to cry more so now a woman, man, trapped in reality brutal and aggressive when uncovered is the truth by clear vision of a prophet, a seer, or simply me. Permission granted to address the plight of humankind and I see there is a field prepared for you and me where immortal time plants and grows a mind in sand of pleasure/pain and fanciful day dreams. Stepping so to the side to get a better view and saddened is my heart by self destructive deeds pouring rain and havoc, grief, and temporary beliefs, onto the deaf and blind, poor in spirit, and healthy. Oh, it’s all ordained and decreed as water for the trees to sprout beneath the surface new roots of understanding and lift above the surface a firm and stable trunk able so to support the weight of new beginnings. And weighted in the ether by all we didn’t see or take the time to feel in this land of growing old only half of who we are will sit by the fireside the other in the cold will say, “I wasn’t told.” A parable of old brought forward to this day like a riddle or a quiz to be considered, known, but always right or wrong the effort and endeavour joins two halves together at the fireside of soul!

And weighted in the ether by all we didn’t see or take the time to feel in this land of growing old only half of who we are will sit by the fireside the other in the cold will say, “I wasn’t told.” ... and he won't be justified! Your message is clear and it is cloaked in wise and powerful verses. Love, Margherita |

Thank you all so much for reading. Seymour - yes, two halves do indeed become the one but ... how many lifetimes before we are considered worthy? Perhaps many depending on thought, will, and deed. |

Your words are almost hanging and haunting We can take a horse to water But can we make it drink We can take water to a horse But can we make it drink No the quality of the water such No-one but a poor human Will drink from it Dave |
