and flowers pick themselves

As human beings, we are living life to learn to be divinely confident, just like cummings' flowers in "who knows if the moon's a balloon." We achieve godliness, Eternal Life, Nirvana or whatever name you choose to call the perfection of the Best Self when we can confidently and honestly say, "I belong here, in this beautiful, creative, eternal place, because I am beautiful, creative and eternal." We can pick ourselves, too.

About Me

My Photo

Being quite homesick for heaven, I search for and relish in enlightening moments of beauty and spirit, when eternity seems near enough to almost comprehend. I don't really understand God, but I crave being near that kind of good orderly direction.
