beyond the doors of perception

an original poem by Grandpa Joe for my Aurea Marrie, 12-18-2002


“Grandpa, how are clouds made?”
I explain in my feeble way...
humidity, condensation, the FM principle
Freaking Magic, thanks grandma JoAnn
And she responds, “Yeah, but how are they made?”
Uh, and a little later she queries...
“Where does the wind come from,
the sun and moon breathing?”
I laugh and answer “yes.”
We go for walks on almost all of my visits
It is...
ritual, pleasure, exercise, bonding, being,
love in action, awe inspiring
time to know...
freedom, safety, pleasure, love, joy,
sights and sounds, weather,
neighbors passing, carefully.,
seeing grand-daughter and grandpa
holding hands and walking
on the side of the rural Montana dirt road,
which comes off of another rural Montana dirt road
and accesses another rural Montana, newly paved road,
which accesses the state highway

We walk the hill where I gave her
the freedom to ride her bicycle downhill
this past summer
Me, running alongside, with hand on shoulder
as Aurea Marrie, Love Ninja, Golden Child,
Daughter of the Morning, Shining Star
and an inspiration everyday
begins her maiden downhill run,
sans training wheels,
but appropriately socially acceptably helmeted
I run beside her
to give her a sense of safety
and help her grow her confidence
and gain her childlike independence
With-in one hundred feet she says
“Okay, grandpa, you can let me go.”
and I do, though I never will
She is a miracle in motion
Grandpa’s Love Ninja

Peace, Joe
in the big MT
seeking the serendipitous magical mysteries of life's ubiquitous twisteries
