Look to the Water Bearer

[Blade_and_Blood]

I’d like you to read a poem of mine. I wrote it a few weeks ago, so it’s pretty recent. It’s my take on religion in general. I’d be honored to hear your responses.

Ironically Yours, Blade and Blood

P.S. Feel free to look around the site or my profile.

Earth is your beloved home;

**St. Paul wrote that on earth we “have no continuing city, but we seek one to come.”

And Jesus said that Heaven and earth WOULD pass away.

Earth is NOT our home, in the sense of our true final destination. It’s just a way station.

It’s also curious that you quote the atheist Mark Twain, who would really know next to nothing about whether anyone had ever prayed for Satan in the last few millennia.**

Just because it will pass away does not mean Earth is not our home. Earth is our home for the Time being. It is the only place we know and the only place we inhabit.

But I do know where you’re coming from in your sense of final destinations.

Thank you for reading.

I may not agree with all content but I like the style.

I think to get it a person would have to understand the symbology used.

Having read the ‘Bhagavad-Gita’ I find it interesting that you chose to use Krishna.

Know a thing or too about Astrotheology myself.

I can see it now–the very thought, to you, is frightening;
To be in the deepest sleep; forever dreaming.

I used to wonder about Ghosts in the machine and if the sleeping dead did dream.
