Illusion

Bella Shepard

We think we make life

But it is an illusion

Life is what makes us

    Perhaps.

      Thank you! That one word speaks to the uncertainty of existence, that will always be part of us.

      Are we only the creators of an illusion called life ?

      • Bella Shepard

        Excellent query my friend. Ours to ponder, if we dare.

        Yet in the great scheme of things it is not only vastly true .. it is HUGE & much loved .. Neville 💛

          To share such thoughts with a kindred spirit is a privilege, and I am eternally grateful that you are there. Thank you dearest Nev!

          I'm reminded of: You can't always give 110% - 'work is part of life'; don't make it into 'life is part of work'!
          How can we give 10% extra, having given all 100%? Doh!!

          I was eating sandwiches. A manager said jokingly 'Do you eat to live, or live to eat?!' Well, he mostly came in the office at lunch time. Doh!

            Just keep me chuckling Orchi, it gets me through the day!!!

            Provoking ones mind to think . Life is tuff that's what it is dear Bella, if I think about what you have written I start to reflect on Karma too illusions and Jokes played on a bigger scale of parallel worlds. Oh now my mind is in overdrive. ❤️

              Thank you dearest Teddy! I've been reading a lot of philosophy, and books on consciousness lately, and I can relate to "illusions and jokes played on a bigger scale of parallel worlds", you've said it beautifully. It's nice to have company along for the ride when we travel to different dimensions. Sorry about the overdrive, hope there's no hyper lag when you get back.lol
