.
On the cusp of sleep
Thoughts, imagination, inspiration
Wander up hill and down dale.
Recollections… introspections… meditations…
.
Material obsessions:
Baubles bright in the sunlight,
Earthly jewels, possessions,
Worth nought in the afterlife.
.
Treasures of the soul:
Love, joy, contentment,
Life-energy spiritually whole,
Surrendered to His control.

Great reminder.
Yet we fill our bags with that which we do not need, ignoring that which we do…what a surprise journey’s end holds.
Peace, Eric

This intimate kaleidoscope
just He and you can share
when you relinquish the reins
where you lie there suspended
betwixt heavenly
and earthly planes

The cusp is a great pave to be. The reason we do anything adventurous. Too bad it is so short so must inhale every bit of it and never exhale.
