like a dream this world...

what the scriptures say about the world is that it is like a dream

and not to be regarded as a trusted experience that has any foundation

that is sturdy 

it will bring nothing but sorrow in the end when held to as a person 

holds a comforter...  

though it may seem warm at times .. it is to get pulled away like all things

of the earth 

godly beings do not hold to anything that is seen by the eyes or heard by the ears...

all that comes as a matter of course is empty as the open air...

which does not mean that beauty and sadness are not felt deeply ..

it is more like a calm expanse of water with ripples that come and dissolve 

very quickly...  

no residual remains that continues to churn away and eat at the soul
