Inside the needle’s eye – v3

Starlight shining upon us,
bent to the needle’s edges,
piercing our consciousness,
our living, our state of being,
in this moment, this time,
offering us a taste, a hint,
of eternity, of our future,
The Creator’s love, our love,
to ponder greater things…
 
Inside the needle’s eye,
an amulet, a treasure,
light, love, temporal things,
something greater, deeper,
calling to our spirits,
to our vital essence,
our living in this moment,
The Creator’s love, our love,
to ponder greater things…

Let yourself believe – v2
https://raymondafoss.blogspot.com/2018/11/let-yourself-believe-v2.html
Inspired by Quote by 13^th Century Poet Rumi:
“Let yourself be silently drawn
by the strange pull of what you really love.
It will not lead you astray.”
One of the favorite quotes of Christine Loeber,
whose obituary/remembrance was in the
Fall 2018 UNH Magazine, pp 94-45,
