Читать книгу Shine On: Visions of Life - Betty Shine - Страница 17

Having insight into the world beyond provided Betty with one of her greatest comforts. Starting from a very early age she had glimpses throughout her life of this unbelievable dimension. She would describe walking through a cloud or haze to see what was on the other side. Colours were always vivid, the landscapes had a deep mystery about them. She called it her ‘Perfect Place’ where she could be peaceful and rest her mind. This was one of her routes of escape from the physical body, and in times of stress she would travel there. We all need our own ‘Perfect Place’!

Skies of violet and blue

and silver streams

lined with gem-like stones of every hue.

A trail of gold from passing wings

which leaves a mist of dust

that for one second blots out

the cloak of mauve

that hovers over distant hills.

Close encounters with creatures

whose peaceful countenance

sums up the life they never had,

and fills me with pity and with shame

of their past suffering.

The familiar become very different

things, on close encounter.

And an arch of yellow, blue and green touches the spot

where all the rainbows end.
