A BEST FRIEND
Republished by Blog Post Promoter
The older my body gets (almost 70) I become more aware of the ancient adage: “Life is short”. Indeed, it seems so. What is a single lifetime in the order of the cosmos? Less than a blink of an eye . Through eternity there is only one companion, as far as I know. Yourself. If we find being alone difficult, without friends, we may have a very long time to endure existence without others to keep us distracted from ourselves in the “great beyond”, whatever that may be. So, being our own best friend makes good sense.

MY ETERNAL COMPANION, WITHOUT END,
BEFORE THE BEGINNING, MY IMMORTAL FRIEND….
WE’RE ALWAYS TOGETHER THOUGH WE’RE APART.
I KNOW YOU’RE HERE…. WHO YOU REALLY ARE!
MY MOST ADORED, MY BLESSED FRIEND!
ON EARTH WE’RE LOST…. ABANDONED, AND….
FAR FROM THE HOME WHERE WE BEGAN.
I CAN’T REMEMBER WHO I’VE BEEN!
WHEN WAS THE START? DID I KNOW YOU THEN?
YET, WITHIN THE TIMELESS ‘WHO’ I AM
I KNOW THAT YOU ARE MY ETERNAL FRIEND!
YOU ARE THE ‘WHO’ THAT I ADORE!
YOU WILL ALWAYS BE! FOREVER MORE!
WHEN THE ‘ETERNAL GAME’ IS AT AN END,
YOU WILL REMAIN MY IMMORTAL FRIEND!”

QUESTION YOUR SELF

I have recently lost my most beloved friend and adviser. Now, I must ask myself fundamental questions that only I can answer….
DRIFTING
Republished by Blog Post Promoter
When we are confronted by the possibility that everything we’ve learned in life could be a lie, how do we “know” what we think we know?
FLOATING ON AN ENDLESS SEA
OF QUESTIONS AND UNCERTAINTY.
DRIFTING ON AND IN A FATHOMLESS ABYSS:
A TINY PLANET FLOATING IN THE SKY.
OUR NAKED FLESH CANNOT SURVIVE
THE AIRLESS COLD ON EITHER SIDE.
DRIVEN BY WINDS OF CHAOS AND REALITY
WE STEER OUR TINY BOAT OF LIES
TO SUSTAIN OUR FRAGILE LIVES
FOR AN INSTANT IN ETERNITY.
WHO NAVIGATES THE BRUTAL TIDES?
ARE WE OUR ONLY FRIEND AND GUIDE
WHILE SAILING THROUGH INFINITY?
