I’ve never seen a soul detached from its gender, but I’d like to. I’d like to see my own that way, free of its female tethers. Maybe it would be like riding a horse. The rider’s the human one, but everyone’s looking at the horse.

I once believed, that boy and girl, were surely the same. That he thought as I did, and I did as he. ventually to realise, that some mighty influence, had seperated us. And him from me.

I enjoyed this. I think there are many things we’d like to detach from, as souls…gender, race, past. What an amazing world it would be if we saw only insides.

A lovely and freeing idea which would help us all to become better connected. I like the idea of being “untethered,” V. ♡

An interesting wondering really…makes me contemplate what IS the real difference. And I wonder if anyone really thinks like another person, regardless of gender. Smiles.

I’ve followed the creed joy is a choice, choose joy moment by moment for nine years since my near death experience from total renal failure. I was in a coma for six or seven days & I jokingly say not ‘all’ of me returned. I came back feeling divided. Once you catch a glimpse of heaven, a piece of your heart remains there. I had otherworldly experiences while in the coma & that enabled me to discover a new purpose.
No Tethers

Freed from my body
Attached by luminous strands
To bright glowing orbs.
I believe it possible to attain a state of continual joy.
This is what I thought of when I read your delightful words.
