Wow… Marvelous movement Kristina. Pacing makes for a smooth read. End superb. I was listening to a podcast, where they were talking about the afterlife, how, heaven and hell are states of mind, based on the idea that in the afterlife there is a review, where, we see through the eyes of those we have known in this life… Effectively, we are them and they are us. That is way far out and cool to contemplate. I find myself thinking a lot about these things… I do wonder if such awareness and contemplation is good. Seeing those who do, also, ponder such things is deeply inspiring. (Love how you dissolved the ego, the I… In the form and function of the piece, also.). Very nicely done. <#3 – Cipher

Thank you so much! I’m a bit insecure when it comes to my poetry, so I really appreciate the feedback. The podcast sounds fascinating. I definitely believe that we are all each other, it’s just in this life our ego identities are in place, which make us feel separate. For instance, I don’t believe in reincarnation/past lives in the conventional way most do. I think we have all been everyone, so you could tap into any life, past, present or future. A lot of times people who argue against reincarnation, use the argument that people always remember their “famous” past lives, and not the “boring, run-of-the-mill” ones. (though some of us remember those too) I think it’s just because those “famous” lives leave a deeper imprint in our subconscious memory. This is also why multiple people can remember being the same person. Many people find this hard to stomach, but I think we’ve all been George Washington, we’ve all been Marilyn Monroe, we’ve all been Hitler, we’ve all been the peasant, and we’ve all been the ant (and the tree, and the mushroom etc.)
