Initially, I don't care for the word obedience in the poem. Its misrepresentation damaged too many. Beyond my issue, I recalled a meditation when I re- membered being the color pink. I was not being pink in this third dimensional reality, actively manifesting pink peptobismal every other beat in this duality. I "be" pink, as in being pink, but not seeing the color but the pure vibration of pink. I got to be pink. This be experience as noun lasted long after my meditation. I can still be pink just thinking about this. Third dimensional reality requires us to blink in and out of be a particle, be antiparticle. The constant never changes. Much love and blessings, Peg Hello Ivan, Thank you. Initially, I don’t care for the word obedience in the poem. Its misrepresentation damaged too many.

While I was reading this poem I was wondering how the lines spoke what I wanted to utter for so long... I know however lost I may feel God will still come to me to help me to retrieve my Being... "And when the desert blooms with flowers, their scent And beauty minister to your content; The prayers of all the angels, all they do, All their obedience, God bestows on you." Dear Ivan

And beauty minister to your content;
The prayers of all the angels, all they do,
All their obedience, God bestows on you.”
