Sitting amongst the silence of the orange flowers.
Including the lilies and roses nearby
Loving life as I meditate on the
Endless sunny days as they blossom
Nurturing the happiness of my
Calm and settling heart
Even though the windy breeze whips through my thick tangly hair.

Plato’s closet
Plato speaks about forms. That life is like a shadow box. We go through levels of consciousness, in the box, out the box. In the box the shadows seems real until you see the light and find a way out the box to the other side. The outside. Then that was real is now just a form of an old pattern. Seeing outside the box and knowing where the shadows come from Plato’s tells us-if we can understand inside the box and outside the box we can under self and we can know God and higher power.
