definitely not the name i had before, i am a different person now...i have seen things, i have experienced things, and now i understand much more than i ever did.

if only we got to start over....like glen close said in "the natural"---
"i think we have two lives, the one we learn from and the one we live with after that"--

a highly perceptive poem...

Thanks, Jacob.

GRR the posting is broke.. I'll have to reply here again..
Well I'm sure you know I didn't mean it blasphemous but rather ,awakened to Greater is he that is in me then, he that is in the world :-)

[Tam Warink]

I know you didn't mean blasphemous but I thought of the old movie, The Ten Commandments (Charlton Heston?) and the "burning bush." Moses (Charton Heston) asks the bush, "What shall I call you?" (or something like that) and it replies, "I AM THAT I AM! TELL THEM I AM HAS SENT YOU!" ...

[Cryingkate]

Yup that's the one :-) That's the same I AM Only there is a new understanding..
It goes like this: I AM THAT, ........I AM
Instead of I AM ,.... that I AM

[Tam Warink]

A subtle emphasis. What is your take on the shape of the curve of the plot of knowledge versus time? Knowledge being that assimilated by a human mind. I rather fancy there is a bifurcation point somewhere near its zenith, at that point perhaps faith takes over as knowledge traces a gradual decline toward the zero line.

Oh Dear..... I feel sorta like Lucia Jammed in a doorway.
With Eyes that can see and a look to the left I am blinded by ignorance of understanding.
Yet an immediate look from the right and I could see and know as Lucia, everything so clearly though I understood not.
A humbling takes place with quivers of awareness.
A realization that I have been stuck in this doorway and didn't realize where I had been.
Here I'd been sitting in this seat and didn't even realize what kinda doorway I had been knocking on , over and over.
Why If I had only seen the Keystone sooner, but no harm done. For there at the Keystone Time will not pass or come too quickly.
It is here Time has no reference, At least not if I lean upon the right side of the doorway.
Yes above the Zenith there is a bifurcation that gently sits in the curve, holding everything in place.
Yes , yes.........

Does experience form the mind? Or is it the other way around... mind forms the experience. Then to, what of the metaphysical - when/how does that become significant? Does the quantum flux of the universe prevail even in trinity of mind, body and spirit? The poet reflects, scribbles and is lost to the ages more often than not it seems.

[Cryingkate]

I AM ......................:-)

[Tam Warink]

Oh my... I've done this too. Guilty as charged. It was pretentious of me, perhaps even blaspemous. However, in my own defense, at the time it was hard to swallow ... so to speak.

[John Anderson]

This is like a fresh breath of air...nice work! ! !

Reminds me of my grandmother telling me about how life was back in her day, and my parents have started that too. Change is often experienced in retrospect very rarely a part of the present. The question is can you remember it all?

[Tam Warink]

Well, Meraki, that's a good question and a good reference point. I don't know the answer. If it's the case that the things that are most relevant are the ones we remember best then there may be a logical answer. But, people are anything but logical; especially when it comes to reflecting on the past. There's always a certain amount of bias in the remembering. If there's a take away perhaps that's it. Be aware of the bias... in other's and especially in ourselves. Thanks for reading.

[Meraki]

That is a very good answer for not knowing the answer :) it was my pleasure dear.

[Pryde Foltz]

Haha … feeling our age these days. Yes, perspective makes the difference if you can remember what you perceived.

[Tam Warink]

Girl, that's the truth! :)
