I know the sun exists
up there, then why?
It is just an object
who brought in a noon
what’s interesting?
for those who seek
a light source
those who adore
miss it so much
the feeling of yearning itself
is heartbreaking
the more if the longing drives
a journey
since onset
to the next steps
an uphill battle
of the millions
who flew to come to him
almost all of them
died along the way
approach It,
your body burns
your trunk melts,
disappear
but not your soul
who will unite
with Light.

I yearn for family peace in my lifetime. I must have patience! Great poem!
I think you are in good family peace, with a perfect balance between beauty and a little distortion.
Pray for our family to have a nice Thanksgiving. Our family has been affected by someone.
Of course, my dear friend. Divine blessings always lavish you, my prayers in them.
Yearning. Missing. Sometimes, people say I am heartless and unfeeling ?. Not true, though. I just carry people in my heart so I do not miss them. But I yearn for the time when people will stop complicating things ?
However, I understand what you most yearn in your life…
Utopia ??? glad to see yah around, btw ??
Utopia or whatever, as long as you flow into the ocean.

Picture is a great song is even better, dear friend … when do I even yearn for anything, though sometimes I wonder what the significance of this is
You’re right again, dear friend, yearn is the rope that binds us to something, and we should often ask, “what is the importance of this?”
You explained it to me very well and I agree with you, dear Albert
Great poem first of all. Now, should the question be, without yearning what would this life be like?
Thanks for the compliment, Kim.
Wow! That’s a great question, life will not survive without longing, but longing for the mystery of life is the most deadly but also the most alive at the same time.
i do crave the light sometimes. A spotlight that reveals all. Nothing hidden nothing to hide all open and free.
O my journey companion, you and I know that there is nothing that can be hidden in the presence of Light and it is free, even though we have to pay the cost of travel to get to the Supreme Light, by leaving many things, especially to leave many other types of light that are really only reflections of that Light, but can make sure you fly in the right direction.
🙂 You are right, the darkness is only there because I let it stay. As my wife always reminds me, let it go!
That’s strong evidence that your wife is the most sophisticated of all the devices you have.
certainly the most likely to not let me wallow in anything not productive.
…and she has acted proactively and effectively.
she does
One of the parts of her job that she brings home is listening!
Ahoy! Here, it is part of my job!
it is sometimes part of my job. Sometimes I cannot hear from the din around me
Let’s shake hands because we got the same job.
I guess I have to overcome many things but it also pays to look and see how much you have achieved
To be wise, someone must have paid a lot to keep their life, and sure you have done it. To understand the Divine (not having to believe in a particular religion) in-depth, there will be more price to be paid by self, and you have done it too.
Well, thanks Albert…I am into being practical too, a lot of religious people only talk big but they don’t do anything to help anyone just preach
I hope my life will speak about what I believe but in occasions I will share what I believe if it is appropriate at the time…
The Divine I see as a loving heavenly father…
I understand what you mean and there aren’t many people who view and act as you do.
Yearns is a gnawing feeling , it gnaws into the soul.
Certainly! Fortunately, the longing for the Divine is not the type that eats away at the soul.
You have put it so nicely this craving, craving for things that could kill us and the ability to see the difference is what one lacks and goes for it and then perishes. Hope I have understood you correctly.
There are many longings that are so heavy to bear, longings that require so much energy, attention, and effort, but the longings for the Divine are far heavier and more painful than all the pain of missing others. Quite a few tried, but very few succeeded, to fuse with the Divine, the Light.
Longing for the Divine should not be difficult in my opinion.
If you have heard the story of mystics in Christianity, or Sufism in Islam, or in other religions and beliefs, longing for Divine means the desire to fuse, “negate” oneself, understand and realize spiritual nature, and it has never been easy, even for people who for years making a painstaking effort to find what they yearn.
You must be talking about those who give up their worldly life and meditate. Buddha did it but there were debates on whether what he did was right , like deserting his wife
The human mind debates both good and bad in worldly standards of mind, in the norm of duality, while spirituality sees things differently.
I think God wants us to think of Him in the midst of it all. This is my interpretation of life. He created the world for us to enjoy Even Jesus went to a wedding – just saying.
Yes, indeed Jesus went to the wedding too, and also said that his disciples (and people) ask to deny themself, leave his family and possessions, even hate the family (Luke 14: 26-27). This means we must enjoy the beauty of life as it is, besides also free from any attachment and prioritize spiritual life rather than worldly. Well, this is merely my point of view too…
One can enjoy life without getting attached and be spiritual at the same time.
Of course, people who are not bound are definitely far easier to be spiritualists than those who are bound by worldly ownership.
There are moments in life when I yearn for something. Sometimes it’s really bad, depending on my craving.
Yes, that happens to all of us, and in fact, almost all of that pain has passed.
You spoke to me once again my friend. I have some issues to be dealt with, and this is right in line with those issues. I know it will all work out in time. Thank you for being here and sharing.
I’m sure you have all the strength, ability and wisdom to overcome it, my friend.
