On Nature, Consciousness,
        and Imagination

When you can…

feel a whirlwind
in the calmest air

find infinite wisdom
in a slowly drifting
  cloud

sense your spirit’s
  oneness
with the deep-rooted
rocks and trees

see all tomorrows’
  promises
in a crystal-clear,
moonlit lake

taste the ambrosia
in an empty bowl

smell the breath
of winter pines
and ocean mists
in the desert

rejoice in wilderness,
transience, and change

hear your every
conscious atom
singing of eternity…

only then
shall you know
the truest ‘way!’

      ---- b. e. adams

Out of some 650-ish 'postings' ... I believe this is only my 2nd. 're-posting'  ...
it is however, essentially a summation of everything I have tried to 'say'
throughout the body of work I have placed in "P.I.P.-land" by the cyber-sea.

This is glorious, Bruce, and brought me to tears.  It seems that I just need to embrace change more easily and graciously, to know the truest way.

Listening ... and rejoicing.
Mastering the river of tears.

This is profoundly inspiring, dear Bruce.

Love,
