Nothing
I mean not a Thing
Literally
No Things
Can You Imagine
That lack
Of Things?
Everything on the Earth
Stays on the Earth
Or under earth
If that be your preference
But nothing
Not one thing
Gets packed
No Things in Heaven
Let me say it
One more time
Not
One
Thing
Only you
And the memory
Of everyone
You ever loved
And every moment
Lived, but not
Lived for the love
Of Things
Can you dig that kind of Thing?

I know some ladies who would say 'If I can't shop, I'm not coming.' Me, I'll be peeking round the gate to see if any animals have made it, because if some of my best dogs ain't there I'm not coming either.
We Taoists have our yea and we have our nay!
Love this Mary. Regards ~ Res

You've put your finger on a mystery here, so directly and simply, and made us confront it. The mystery of spirit divorced from corporeality is so ancient yet should always be wih us. You remind us that our material minds and lives make it very difficult for us to grasp the concept of spirit, particularly in the West today when for many the goal in life is to amass maximum Things and thereby somehow make ourselves more valuable and indeed more 'real'. This is an original and wonderful poem on a perrenial human problem, Mary.

Not only can I dig that kind of thing, I 'terra firmally' believe it. Mary, you came through in spades with this offering. Of course, a materialistic heaven just doesn't make a whole heck of a lot of sense, no matter how one cuts the deck. A stellar posting, Mary.
Respecfully,
Greg
