My abode being of a certain age
In a dream I came upon a plan
To rebuild my residence
Remodel some parts
Set up new walls
Open out others
Break down sections brick by brick
And lay new flooring
The door always open
To let out negativity
Large windows
To let in grace and goodness
Faith, courage, truth and the like
Inviting interiors
A firm foundation
A roof to protect
Safe, sturdy, loving
No locks on the gate
Nothing worth stealing
Real value in the unbreakable vault within
It took time
And effort
But when it was complete
I sent out invitations for the housewarming
And as the first guest came knocking
I thanked the Divine Architect with all my heart
For making the body I inhabit, a home

Super thoughts. Although more often we create more walls and close more Windows as we grow older: does life weigh us down or do we weigh life down I wonder ? Keep writing 🙂

Celebrate divinity. Treat the body as a divine form. Amen.

Amen! We tend to abuse it in our youth, not realising divinity resides within, isn’t it?
