"Falling into the Sky"
What would it be like if you fell into the Sky. Forever, and Forever ,...Tomorrow, and Tomorrow. Above the Trees above the Towers beyond the Clouds. I think of falling into Eternity falling into Forever. One foot in front of the other. One step then another. Then,...Falling. Falling into Heaven.
Sounds good to me. Maybe we'll float up to the Milky Way and it'll turn out to be the River of Souls, just like they say. Beats hanging out on the Nasty Primate Planet.
ReplyDeleteBTW, did you know that the ancient western Hermetic tradition AND some American Indian tribes have that concept of the River of Souls? At least so I've read. Also, both believe that the universe is one vast living being, and that everything in it is to some extent and in some way alive and conscious. I can get down with that.
Long ago a particular Nun,...can't remember which told us something wise.
ReplyDeleteShe said that all of life was a prayer. All the living beings flowers animals birds us all are prayers.
Sort of like Whitman, and his "...Grass book. All his work was one long poem The Well of Souls Stream of Souls the Sky of Souls all that Buddha Howl Harry Hay jazz.
The older I get the clearer it is.
All that we do are not the separate events or sagas we think they are. All are part of the whole.
All trillion zillion pillion gillion of us from pond worms great oaks sub atomic particles even to us hairless monkeys.
All one life one story one vast poem.
