Truth is based on knowledge, and as knowledge expands so does our beliefs change, that’s why it’s always good to have an open mind, but it hurts less when you know how to duck.
Very enjoyable indeed

We all hold our own truths and they may all be different truths but we believe in them.

Love is an abstraction, as you said, and as a word grossly misused. It is an emotion, and like all others, over which we have very little control.

Not Yet….Perhaps… How Then?
SureshG said:

I don’t want anyone to have to say of the departed “they are not suffering any more” for as you have so emotionally claimed “ to die with dignity” must be the end game.

Andy Hunter said:

Dave, was attempting to comment when my phone froze so sent blank screen. All I can say is your poem reflects my own thoughts. Nicely expressed.

Goldfinch60 said:

We each have our own personal views on our own lives and we wish to go through them in a ways that we alone desire. Very good words Dave, may that dignity ALWAYS be with you.

I seriously respect your right to choose whether to adopt a particular set of religious beliefs or not ... I believe it is a fundamental right .. I was raised in a non practicing Church of England household ... my wife\'s father was a very respected hospital chaplain .. yet I have followed a Buddhist way since my late teens ...

ps .. I think you have now left everyone in the picture .. :)

There is no Limbo, don\'t ya know. A recent Pope abolished it! As if it depended on him?
Not that I believed in it in the first place anyway. I\'m not R.C. either, so what I am doing poping (Pope-ing) around?

This is happening all over the place Dave and it is such a shame, so many people just do not care for nature.

Three Palms Revisited
Doggerel Dave said:

No message beyond what is there, Teddy. \'All is change\' would probably cover it really.
A small (compared with world problems) deterioration in the quality of my life. But certainly I\'ve had, at various times (not always) housing problems - with the sole exception of where I am now.
