Something of the unseen beyond
can be gleaned from consideration
of the human visage.
*
Once encountered in youth,
the human face never really grows old.
*
It ages, certainly, yet always retains
the signature of youth which was
present at first sight.
*
It is possible that this experience
constitutes more than mere sight
and acts like a recognition.
*
Consciousness, sifting time,
quickly settles into
its own familiarity,
which is eternal.
Like it!
It’s an opportune time to announce I had both eyes zapped yesterday. Isn’t medical knowledge and service wonderful!. Here in Spain, I only had to wait a couple of months. Muy bien.

I love this writing, Stuart. I was thinking the other day when I got a post from a lady who is very conscious about her physical appearance and always making sure she dresses to the hilt. Nothing wrong with this at all, but I was thinking about aging, and I thought how I feel honestly ageless. Only my body knows that it has changed through the years, but other than being involved creatively with life, I really feel truly ageless. So it seems that our minds can put us where we want to be, whether it is here on this earth in this time, or someplace else where we want to be. I often wonder what other incredible powers our minds hold that we have not explored. So much to look forward to. Thank you for the writing; it is excellent.

Consciousness is not necessarily a function of mind… 😉
