I am.. going to get back to you, on this.

Fleeting, yes; we have neither a second to loose, not a millennium to gain.

You are quite right that I’m a bit lost and that the world is still, but at least in certain respects, a beautiful place..

I enjoy reading your posts, they’re always quite thought provoking, so thank you for that.

I will try to post more often, I apologise if I don’t. My writing is not always very accessible, but I will try to write more, and hopefully your response will come soon.

In this fleeting world, we have our fleeting thoughts. My thoughts have become my life, the light of which I carry, is not the sun but is a light that shines, and it shines for no reason but my own.

It is the fire which creates the ash.

It is the wind which creates the dust.

The waves that create the water.

It is the stars that create the night.

And I love them all.

As do you.

What a beautiful picture you paint with your words, to set a beautiful scene for me to imagine in my mind.. it is indeed love(ly).

I love beautiful words, and images, and things.. as do you, it seems. These days, humanity is made to feel bad for wanting such (simple) wants, instead of wanting the current grotesque contrived wants of the unnatural anti-nature kind.

I’m not really talking about our thoughts, our minds, our individual memories, but the very act of thinking itself.

Our minds are what make us human.

Without them we would be nothing.

I enjoy reading and learning of others’ experiences. I wish you only good.

I enjoy thinking, and then seeing where those thoughts take me, to some other place in space and time.. far far away from the mundaneness of real worldliness, where only a calm quiet prevails, allowing only for selected sounds to be let in.

I am.. currently tranquil.

Oh, worthy Genie, MagsJy,


Please send me back in time to when I was eight years old to that moment when my father (not my real father - though I did not know it at that time) pulled out and kept going. This time though, I will catch up with him. I will run faster and faster and I shall overtake him. He will then explain things to me and all will be clear in my mind.

As for the rest, it will be up to me.

So, can you, in your power, make my wish come true and transport me back to that very moment - no - not THAT moment, but a few moments before that time, to the most opportune moment, when he will not have any other choice but to speak and to listen to me.

I thank you for your gracious time and energy.
If you can't fly, then run.
If you can't run, then walk.
If you can't walk, then crawl,
but whatever you do, you have to
keep moving forward.

Does God, for you, Ichthus, do this all by Himself in one quick swoop...or in one ongoing journey to the end only with Him and then voila - you have resolution?

Is there any help along the way from others? Does He send others?

Does He need to feel that He is the ONLY one who gives resolution?

What if, at times, He wants to be silent before us? Is it okay if we seek help from others?

It may not apply here but Carl Jung said that ultimate truth needs the concert of many voices.

So you think God wants to use her to bring healing… or you to heal her… without being grafted in to the source of life?

Doesn’t matter how many voices are involved. That music is … dead.

Do we not feel it?

But perhaps her garden senses the verge of something.

Would you lock up something you wanted to see fly?

I think I got my first wish, then a second wish followed the first to assure my full confidence that would remove all doubt that what I wished for was really what I really want and need, and that wish inordinately led me astray to thinking. that after the first wish may have been ordinatelly attached to the first by default, so I ask for this last one non ordinatelly and properly as a third and final wish: of revealing what the first wish was about.

Gotta explain here;

There are biblical reasons in which I certainly have absolute creedence, that it is forbidden to look back to inquire about, , the iffs , how’s, and whys about it for some real forbidden reason.


So finally please grant that last wish and I know the consequences of forever loosing the chance to have another wish ever granted again.


Thanks
