a 'Universalist' !

    Universalism (#3)

just beyond the final
  fading twilight,
with the mind as still
and unencumbered
as these ancient hills

gaze upon the
endless pathways
of this starry cosmos

to contemplate
the true form
of emptiness …

a vast (universal)
matrix of infinitely
nested 'connectedness'
in which we are
an integral part.

Yo Secondhanddreampoet,

You’ve been reading “Desderada” again haven’t you.  That’s good, it’s one of my favorites too.

"connectedness" Yes, that is the key.
