A PARAGRAPH FROM A POEM


Webshots.com



A paragraph from the poem entitled:

"TERMINUS"

"Go, move on to the sunshine of joy,
and suffer no more my sweet.
gnarled fingers and wrinkles are done now,
and time for your restful sleep."


An inevitable moment in all of our lifetimes is the event of death. Death is believed to be a transition to another "lifetime", a new, great adventure, another phase of our metamorphosis into the "perfect being". What do you think? I would like to believe it is so.

This is an excerpt from an article entitled:

The NDE and the City of Light

From: Kevin Williams' research conclusions
near-death.com
"Fifty of the near-death experiences I profile on this website which I gathered statistics on, 17% of them experienced a city of light. These cities of light have been described by various experiencers using such adjectives as: golden, beautiful, unearthly, fairy tale-like, indescribable, beyond anything that can be described, so superior to anything on earth, colorful, brilliant, heavenly, endless, crystalline, grand, paradise, and galaxy-like."

A POEM BY ELIZABETH BROWNING


Image from: free-clipart

XIV (If thou must love me, let it be for nought)

If thou must love me, let it be for nought
Except for love's sake only. Do not say
"I love her for her smile--her look--her way
Of speaking gently,--for a trick of thought
That falls in well with mine, and certes brought
A sense of ease on such a day--"
For these things in themselves, Beloved, may
Be changed, or change for thee,--and love, so wrought,
May be unwrought so. Neither love me for
Thine own dear pity's wiping my cheek dry,--
A creature might forget to weep, who bore
Thy comfort long, and lose thy love thereby!
But love me for love's sake, that evermore
Thou may'st love on, through love's eternity.

Elizabeth Barrett Browning

I believe this is what TRUE LOVE is all about - loving someone without any reasons. You just love someone because you do.
