Questions Striking the icy mountains the setting sun goes out, and finest moonlight ripples over land and sea to assuage the saddened soul, and transport consciousness to that inner place of infinite wonder and deepest contemplation… of every question tiny and grand… Who paints the colors in a dream? What do we ever truly ‘own’ beyond this winged moment in Deep-Time’s immortal journey? What could contain greater ‘truth’ than one lovely Autumn leaf floating on a crystal mere? Might supreme serenity and quintescent enlightenment arrive…gently… fortuitously… (when we are searching for nothing) through well-practiced simplicity and the discard of all opinion? ---b. e. adams (3/26/08) |

Secondhanddreampoet, This is a fine write that leaves a disturbing question in my uninformed mind. Do I dream in color? Bobby |

Wonderful visions and questions ... you truly SEE, dear Bruce! Oh, yes we dream in colors. We own nothing, but everything displays in incredible abundance for us to enjoy, then we know we own everything. I just wrote this haiku yesterday: Nature paints the sky in overwhelming colors for free all can see Love, Margherita |

I agree, Bruce, a clear and calm mind can produce wonderous things. By the way, I've always dreamed in color and didn't realize until recently that some people don't. Ida |

A grand view of the world. I read from Seoul with my soul. "Might supreme serenity and quintescent enlightenment arrive¡¦gently¡¦ fortuitously¡¦ (when we are searching for nothing) through well-practiced simplicity and the discard of all opinion?" We are indeed doing this. We are. Do you want this serenity if it does arrive in this way? |

The wall in my office is filling up with your work, Poet, to which I will now add this most recent write, which is superb. |
