"No other place...."
NO OTHER PLACE
By Sondra Stallman ( poetry from II Cor. 5:8)
I turn and walk down a corridor.
Even though it is a strange and different place, I am not afraid to walk it.
There is a deep quiet here, like a hush and a soft sound of singing.
Everything has gone white. I am in a Most Awesome Presence.
There is no time nor space.
The Presence is all encompassing.
There is no “air” as I know it, yet I care not.
I am still. I feel no need at all.
No hunger. No thirst. I’m not tired.
The greatest change within me is the total lack of desire to utter a single word.
My thoughts seem to have stopped. It is like I am floating.
I have always been very conscious of my “self”….my “body”….my “thoughts”,
my perception of things around me! In this place, I am utterly emptied of “self.”
My awareness is keen, however, of the Presence that is everywhere.
It is a Peace so deep it sustains all things that come near.
I feel as if I’ve been shot into the very center of a hot and burning star.
I can feel the energy that is creating and re creating every milli second.
There is a distant sound of song, as if miles away.
Voices that sound like velvet feels
are floating past me.I linger before the songs.
I reach out.
I can touch them with my finger.
I can TOUCH the SONGS!
Suddenly,it seems that the SONGS are INSIDE ME!
The light is bright and deep and all wrapped up in the songs.
I see no one.
I feel only Ecstasy.I know of no other place.
I know nothing but the Love
And The Light.
I Will never Leave.
II Cor. 5:8…”to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord.”
"No one comes to the Father but by Me"
is what Christ said. Most Christians (again, the ones who believe the words of Jesus) believe that religions besides Christianity are false religions.
PS-You can just say "no" as Reba said sm
I wanted a backup for the car, so I was happy with the $100/yr. but you can just say no and return the phone via certified mail or any kind of certified method with a receipt if you don't want it at all. Just call but be careful as you're being recorded. Good luck.
I'd have to go with "No Country for Old Men" - I just
didn't get it.
I wonder if they still use that "no incision" advertisement?
While no incision does mean no scalpel, all they do is take a blunt punch to make the opening instead of a nice, sharp scalpel. Maybe your DH would fall for it though, LOL.
The new "no periods" ever not a new concept for me
Years ago in the 70s and 80s when I was on birth control pills, I could always have a period if and when I wanted just by continuing to take the pills all month around. This is not a new idea to me at all. That was really nice during the summer months when I wanted to be at the pool or on vacation.
Add one more "no regrets" to your list
My fibroids started to grow when I got pregnant and six months after I gave birth they were still huge (about the same size as yours - my doc said my uterus was about 16-week size). I had my hysterectomy at 34 and it was one of the best things I've ever done, health-wise. I had horrible periods since high school. I remember my mom picking me up from school and having to pull over to the side of the road so I could throw up.
Good luck to you. The main advice I would give is make sure you rest the FULL time your doc recommends. My incision actually wasn't that painful until I tried to do too much and pulled a muscle in it. Yeeeeouch!
So rest, take care, and you should be fine!
My friends and I always say "no gifts" but...
we usuall bring gag gifts to each other just for laughs. We're kind of a bawdy group, so the gifts are usually pretty outrageous, but you can get a gag gift that's more tasteful.
Mine would have said, "No" but I hate that sm
You probably have a generous husband. Mine is but only with family, sometimes he is rude to the point I get upset. I would rather be nice about it, but then again, it sounds like an "heirloom" so with the holiday coming, just say, "Hi, are you finished with my heirloom rolling pin, I can't be functional without it, it's special to me, this one is precious, not the kind they make today." Then next time, say, "Gee, sorry, the thing was so old, I guess you'll have to buy new." Just work around it and be happy you have a guy who "shares." Mine drives me nuts when it comes to this subject, not a good sharer, what's his is his and don't dare borrow it!
Luv the snow here. Woke up to "no school"
which was great since my son did not get home last night from a drama competition until after 2:00. My dog barks at the snow falling from the trees, cute at first but then goes on and on and on. Snow really gets me in the holiday spirit. Joy To The World!!!!!
I would sign the "no paddling" slip (sm)
I don't punish my children by spanking and they are generally very good kids and do what they are supposed to do. When they do slip up and do something wrong, there are plenty of punishments that don't include hitting them. In general, the children I see whose parents spank them are less well behaved than those who are not spanked. I know someone who punishes her children harshly in my opinion - and they are very good as long as she is around or if they think she can find out what they have done wrong - but if they see a chance to be bad they jump at it. I do think it is an archaic type of punishment and has no place in the world. I say let her do ISS and maybe think of a punishment at home if it keeps happening, like grounding her from a privelege she enjoys or something like that. No hitting!
