I agree.  I have often: Thanks for the comment, and yes . . . I agree.  I have often experienced test anxiety, and I believe that death is the final test that earthly life undergoes before transitioning.  That is why I will be dependent on the Jesus prayer, and on the tactile reminder and focus provided by my prayer-rope.

This brings about a lovely: This brings about a lovely bout of reflection on the themes of renewal, connection, and the boundless journey of the soul, of exploring the interplay of silence, growth, and the infinite potential of the human spirit. The boundless journey of the soul is my favourite!

I was swept away, lost and: I was swept away, lost and then found in the entrancing spirit of a phenomenal thinker and astronomer, so ahead of his time and so intrinsically drawn to "the vast tapestry above" and the "mysteries only the patient can unravel" with a heart "that beat to the rhythm of the cosmos".   With imagery, references and craftsmanship worthy of the vastness explored by great minds, you kept me spellbound and intrigued throughout. There is a sense of ecstatic ascension in the last lines and finally a serene landing that could have been at the gates of Heaven itself.   A triumph!

Oh, that is quite sad to: Oh, that is quite sad to hear. But poets like artists in general could be like that. As for myself, I try to be warm, it is the way my mother taught me. Sounds lame, perhaps. But that's the way it was and it seems to have stuck.  Thanks again for gracing this page.

I find that good to have in: I find that good to have in mind as the mind tends to wander at the oddest of moments. I would probably prefer not to be sedated when my time event arrives.
