THE PREPARATIVE



Since this is the birth of my Blog, I felt compelled to start with an extract of a poem from the metaphysical poet Thomas Traherne, who died in 1674 and was able to remember his pre-existence.
In "The Preparative" he describes the time in his mother's womb and then he recalls his consciousness of pre-existence:

Before I knew this hands were mine
Or that my sinews did my Members join...
I was within
A House I knew not, newly cloath'd with skin.
Then was my Soul my only All to me,
A living endless Eye
Scarce bounded with the sky
Whose Power and Act and Essence was to see;
I was an inward sphere of Light
