            Unity

Strive always with humility
and informed curiosity
for a truly open mind and
   spirit,
forgiving self and 'life,'
to seek the simple truth
   and wisdom,
(spoken in profound silence)
of mountain, lake, and forest;
and you shall come to know
that there is nothing we can
touch, dream, or ‘be’…
that is not the universe.

      ---b. e. adams (5/29/08)

Secondhanddreampoet,

This is a good write.  This brings to mind the lines from “Desiderata"—

“You are a child of the universe
no less than the trees and the stars;
you have a right to be here.”

It’s something we should all remember.

Unity within ~ and unity without.

Balance the yin and the yang and live in perfect harmony.

Within the silence of each of us ~ there is perfection.

A wise and calming write. Peace be with you!

"there is nothing we can

That sums it up for me, poet.

You speak words from your heart and words that I can understand.  Beautifully expressed.

Words I understand as well, Bruce, but cannot say as well.

I know a lot of people who just say "uh huh" to such stuff, but if you can get them to listen to the science of it--THEN you get the "wow" factor.

Gotta love quantum mechanics. (I received a copy of Physics--a guide for the perplexed for Mother's Day. *chuckle* It's not quite as poetic as this but it's the same idea.)

Yes, dear Bruce, I feel this deeply. You say it beautifully.
I just meditated and felt the flow of Universal energy and my being part of it.

May this awareness grow and spread ...

Love,
Margherita

I came back to read this beautiful piece again, before putting my head on the pillow, for the peaceful feeling it gives. It's like having an extra dream-catcher nearby.
