and give up some things I love
Ahh yes, the everyday!

The seething teeming
Since the world has all this
Billions of us, the stars,
The seething teeming
Black holes and dark energy
Moving it is born anew each instant

But they’re getting away!
I could be convinced

Demonstrate lack of imagination
Are costly, dangerous, life-threatening
But they’re getting away!
In our times where is away?

Die a death fitting for your living
This chapter can reframe
All the rest
Die a death fitting for your living
This is the Work
Here your spirit shows through
Now you teach now you learn
Up you might go as you away
This can be your finest chapter
Instead of a receding period
In other contexts called
Redemption, transformation

One and done and stop?
How could a living creator do a one time and done act—and stop creating? Could an eternal creator stop?
:- Doug.
Does it exist?
Do infinity and eternity actually mean immeasurable, at least by humans, humans who wish to measure all? How could we measure places without place, times without time? Do we think that if we have no word for something it does not exist?
:- Doug.
