Notice of absence from Bella Shepard
After dealing with some health issues for the last few months, I have decided to take a leave of absence until the dust settles and the clouds go away. I feel badly that I have been absent so much, for I miss my friends. I hope to be back before too long. I also hope that all of you will all be safe and well.

Unshackle your mind
Dare to know things through reason
What have we to fear?

Desperate isn't the word for it......no, no it IS the word, Bella - I was just hunting for something more extreme.
Today, it would seem, a rational statement is no longer rational if someone somewhere is 'triggered' by that statement.
I could blather on about this shift in human discourse for a really long time................................
Here, here my friend, you are so very right. Thank you so much for reading and sharing thoughts, it is always a pleasure.
Amen!
(so timely, so true, such purity of sincere
empathy, unable to watch-on
as those around you
so adamantly, curate their own
suffering and demise
this be an impassioned roar, to
Haiku
and awaken awareness
to so many, lost
in their mirage of self-deluding
Manus dare...)
Brilliant!
You humble me dear friend with your kind words and understanding. If we join hands maybe we can make a better day, a better way. I think that Enlightenment is there, and always has been, it's up to us to want to find it. Your fav is greatly appreciated!
surely there must be some valid reason why I have not arrived here before now ..
sapiential knowledge and associated awareness are worth their weight in gold .. regardless ..
and this little pearl of wisdom is frightfully true, exceptionally well crafted and a fine example of the classic 575 model I always admire when expertly assembled .. 10/10 🙂
My dear friend you are always so very kind, thank you for your comments. I keep hoping that we are on the verge of a new Enlightenment, and maybe with a little luck I'll be around to see it happen. Until then good thoughts and positive attitude....
