Even if they could hear it, some of them would still say it. Imaginations in full stagnation. This is lovely. Really builds the visual beautifully

I am madly enthralled and peaked by this loveliness. The depth is Everything. Umph.

It doesn’t sound content; it sounds more like you’re resigned to it. I don’t think you’re boring.

Thanks Fia.
I don’t think I’m boring but others would because I shun the endless stimulation that they need to feel alive.

You’re anything but boring. You know that. I understand what you meant in your comment to Fia. I shun that endless stimulation too. I don’t need it.
I enjoy your writing.-

Thanks Alexandria…
It’s quite a hard gig standing your ground these days.If you don’t play the game you get called antisocial or the fun police or a killjoy.Small price to pay for being interesting…😘

You brought up some amazing points in this. We are aĺ human, doing human things. Even our avoidance we are slightly similar. Like this poem very much.

hello dearest Benny I wonder if we don’t manifest in more than one place…I like occupying a body but it is uncomfortable but it allows so much for us to interact with each other enjoy our surroundings and eat…someday our souls may return to spirit I don’t know this is deep 💕

When we can finally let go of everything, including our ego, then we will be free.
Unfortunately, that usually requires the death of our body or a life time of training the mind…..lol

I think of immortality from another side of what you’re saying. If you’re immortal but only you…imagine constantly being around to witness the fall of everyone you know & care about? No thank you. I’m with you on this one
