Love After Death

[stephen philip]

Thank you Jeff. The weight of lived experience in your words, so palpable. I have a feeling I'll need to read this slowly, several times.

Off the top of my hat, it reminded me of one of Thomas Keating's poems, "The Last Laugh." Perhaps you have come across it, but thought to share it here.

I watch the seductive dance of everyday life

But the desire to join has ceased.

Two crucial questions arise:

Where are you?

Who are you?

Nowhere is my destination

And no one is my identity

My daily bread is powerlessness

Temptations can be overwhelming

Gone is every hope of help

An abyss opens up within me

I am falling, falling

Plunging into nonexistence

Is this annihilation?

Or is it the path to the silent love

that we are?

As the false self disappears

The true self is born

Thus the dance of human nature with

That Which Is

Takes on a wholly new perspective

And those who partake in it

Are overwhelmed with laughter

Too deep to be heard.

Thank you for sharing

Lovely writing as always Jeff. Your words convey the real struggle of the journey you've been on. They strike me as real and authentic, in a world that is anything but these days. Keep up the great work. How do I buy you a coffee to support your writing? I don't see that option on your page.
