Life looms in layers,
alternating joys and sadness
with the futility and purposeful intention
of a life well lived.
I do not claim to see the whole picture yet:
my time to reach higher heights
hasn’t arrived.
I simply watch
and feel
the lightness of being
in the moment;
minute after minute,
hour after hour,
accumulating as impending,
moving images on a film
of a life—I hope—worth living.
Like eyes that shield the sun our minds too have blocked the awareness of our shared truth.. Yet as the sun sets and allows us to gaze at it .. The turbulence of our native heart will too.. As it does we will be aware of even what we will see as fading importance.
Thanks for sharing!
I love the reference to life in layers. We so often think only in duality, but layers allow us to unfold as does the flower, forgetting and remembering. Thank you for this beautiful addition to my consciousness.

“I simply watch and feel”
Really nice I loved this line.
Letting us “just” experiencing things will lead us in deeper layers of understanding.
Thank you

Beautiful poetry. I can see how people might feel when they read my little poems. It feels good. ♡ I also really liked your video “I am that.”
Thank you for your kind words, Laurie. Glad you liked them.
Love,

Thank you. I really like your poetry. I had the thought of sending you something I am working on before we meet.. But I thought maybe later.. I look forward to speaking with you. I like the idea of our writing going ahead of us a little somehow.
Love,
Laurie
I love the phrase “lightness of being” I will keep this phrase with me today. Blessings.
Thank you for your comment, I’m glad it spoke to you! :-)
