Paradise
I drove through a piece of heaven tonight.
It was exactly how I imagined it.
Airy,
liberating...
As I approached the other side,
waiting to greet me was the crescent moon.
Its light, so bright, felt like a hug
as it held me entranced.
I have never felt more at peace

A good crescent moon will do that.

Dear MS,
It surely will. I can’t truly describe the beauty of it. The brightness of it was almost as if it was speaking. I love “the old moon in the new moons arms” very sweet. Thank you so much for your lovely comment. H 🌷

Sounds magical and delighted in your enjoyment.
Had me thinking of coming out of a tunnel, with top down on a warm summer night. Wind refreshing and look up and boom the heavenly starry night sky.

Re. Paradise
I'm beyond delighted for you, having had such a viscerally gorgeous experience. I can see you basking within that peaceful, floating freedom you've described to such a lovely extent that I truly am enormously jealous I wasn't with you to see it, too...What a tremendous experience.
Here's to hopefully getting to feel that sense of awe and peace myself one day.
Your poetic voice and sense of grace mixed with humor is one of my favorite things about DUP, so thank you for continuingly bringing it, like you do.
Much love for that, dear lady

Maya Angelou once commented that we don't remember what people said but we remember how they made us feel. Feelings are so much more a catalyst in decisions than 'logic of argument' - that's why good feelings can be so precious - we need more of them. Glad you had a good start to the day :))

People with serene spirituality can deeply sleep as they dont feel guilty
of anything wrong they might have done at their wake... so they dream very sweet dreams and wake up in the morning with a blissful smile on their face
Stay blessed always..
