Dear M

Thanks for sharing your profound thoughts.
May I say this?


1   I came with nothing........ but to me there's beauty and mystery in that nothing:   could it be the answer to everything?
 
2   We came alone, live alone and die alone despite others--
our aloneness doesn't isolate us from others but rather draws us to them in our 'spiritual' and humane away--- we discover our true self in this being-alone state only to waken to a 'higher' and 'deeper' consciousness.
I could say: we become larger than ourselves in this transformation

3   Love, as long as it is pure and unselfish,  lifts us above all the mundane, the trivial and inane--to have loved and being loved transcends every earthly thing

4   The beyond is not ours to understand--we live as long as life is given to us-- the sun will set as it must, the flower knows its season to wither, the sea has its ebbing time, the heart knows when to cease its yearning at the appointed hour-- there is every reason to welcome the ending of things as a perpetual repeating without closure would be unthinkable.  

The beginning is the kindergarten, the end is the richest lesson.

I hope I make some sense or is this but the rambling of a decadent mind?
Yours truthfully
Peter
