I love sleeping people – they look so calm and at peace.
The translations I read described this as being about deep, dreamless sleep.
It’s interesting that it gets included as a “thought”. I find sleep fascinating – it’s almost as mysterious as infinity and thinking about the edge of the cosmos.
wait, I’m looking for my pillow now … time for a sleep!
Inner infinity, mortality and age make you think about that Grace. R x
Lovely. Zzzzzzzz!
