With Both Eyes Closed

Neville

With Both Eyes Closed

 

Even with both eyes closed

it wasn’t hard to see

while the rest of the world

had been blinded ..

There were still those of us

who insist, the greater good

has already, been bettered ..

Indeed, a long time ago now ..

    I've not got both eyes closed yet. I'm still working out how to blink with one eye. Eh??
    This is how I spend me 'sad' life, on things like that! lol.

          Literal mind intrudes once more...Please elucidate the terminology for the less than sophisticated: i.e. define 'greater good' and 'bettered' in this context...

          Enjoy the break, Nev - if you are close to snowbound, to beat a retreat seems strategic....

          • Neville


            please forgive this late but nevertheless much appreciated & otherwise welcomed visit Dave .. I needed the break .. I assure you I will endeavour to respond more fully when I am more than presently recovered ..

            Closed eyes see more than we could imagine when all around groping in near insanity the world never sees simple wonders and awareness evolving - --- - - well that's how this intriguing message appears to me........x

            • Neville



              that'll do nicely Fay .. I thank you and dearly .. x

                thank you C .. yes, it sure felt like it from where I was standing .. I desperately needed that slice of sun .. 🐧

              • Bella Shepard

                Your words of wisdom are both comforting and so true dear friend. Thank you for this parting piece, and look forward to your return. Safe travels!

                • Neville



                  it is perfectly clear to me that my belated thanks dear Bella, are long overdue .. but most sincerely now sent & thank you for the visit and all you left behind to warrant them ..

                  Both eyes closed is when the mind doth indulge
                  Take in a whiff of imagination or desires…
                  Anyhow, I see your point .. Tis true

                  • Neville



                    my word Ms Dove, your little note left me filled with a warm wonderment and a kinda floaty feeling deep inside my tummy πŸ§πŸ’œ
