For each of us who walks this blessed Earth, there comes a time, maybe not until physical death, when we must take our first conscious trip across the 'great divide' into the direct awareness of the larger-life reality.   I am attracted to the idea of a very primitive and hardly finished 'bridge' we create with which to make our first such forays into this Ultimate Adventure. This Momentous Event is always amatter of when, not if.

          If you know you're going to  move to a new country, don't you prefer to plan, to learn as much as you can so you can enjoy the move and not be beset by all sorts of stresses for which you are unprepared?   The alternative is to become a  powerless refuge  suddenly thrust on the infinite shores of Eternity.   With so inexpressibly much to gain, both here and there, now and then, why wait?
