Whew! This thread is very strong and running!
Thank you again for responding
James/Bartholomew. Wondering if your Avatar is a depiction of Bart. Just a passing thought.
Yes, I said wars in heaven. I should have said in otherworldly realms, a slip back into the old verbiage. Do they pertain to us or don't they (not asking, just speculating)? I guess in my imagination I assumed they were on more esoteric problems, not on us lowly humans here on Gia, twiddling our thumbs and occasionally sticking a finger in our eye is see if it hurts.
I didn't associate said wars with us. Maybe they are, maybe they are not.

A little at a time opposed to all at once. I wondered if she, in her dreams, could see something approaching that finally made sense of it and was yearning for culmination.

I couldn't help responding to this experience you had a youngster. There is only so much suffering some persons can experience before the burden of living replaces the exuberance souls experience when they first enter a new incarnation with all its gloss, glory and flurry of energy.
As a life comes to a close, the thought of rest, peace and quiet beacons like a siren calling her sailors.
