Earth’s magnetism channeled through beings,
Is it a catelyst for amassing?
Maybe it arose after emancipation from a modest childhood
And Mom’s mission of making do?
Or perhaps a mammal’s natural need for nesting?
Necessities and niceties for a fuzzy bunny to attract a big cat mate?
Three score years of accepting, acquiring, accumulating.
Even emigrating, moving interstate; a reluctance to release, relinquish and renounce as we ‘may need it one day’.
As hour grains run faster, we the tiger and the rabbit reflect and act upon reality;
The compulsion for conservation of capitalist commodities has contracted.
Burdensome belongings bring joy no more.
Deliberately we’re divesting, downsizing, disencumbering.
With lightness of mind body and soul,
We are distilling dreams to design a direct destination,
Carefully eking out the remainder for our next stage of life.

I so love the title and the content superb – Distilling dreams is a beautiful line and thought.
Thank you, Paul.
Very welcome Robert 🙂
Awesome and freeing. At my age of 87 the need for image goes too. It’s a journey to freedom, the freedom of just being the person God created us to be. Imperfect by the larger measurement, but unique and loved.. For me now, like the Velveteen Rabbit, a little worse for wear, but freed by love to be myself. Welcome to the upside of aging: maturity and freedom.! I love being a part of your journey. We are long time friends now. Isn’t that a lovely gift of technology! When I was young there was no way any could have imagined this blessing. Hugs from a little old lady in a small town, Dickson, Tennessee USA. Despite governmental greed and stupidity, we can care across the world. Hugs!!!
Thank you, Eileen. Your friendship is a cherished gift. It is always a pleasure to hear from you. Little old ladies are the best ❣️
