Winter Window outside this Winter window… The raven flies a thousand snowy valleys without respite. The wise man comes upon a withered leaf and knows himself. The frosty moonlight spreads across these frozen hills, timeless as our fleeting dreams. Even the greatest beauty harbors unquenchable sadness. --- b. e. adams (11/27/08) |

Ahh, dear Bruce, you write so well of beauty and sadness! They are linked because we always sense the impermanence of everything. Love, Margherita  "Love is the One who masters all things; |

A poignantly beautiful winter write, Bruce, especially this: "The wise man comes upon a withered leaf and knows himself." |

And even the greatest sadness harbors unquenchable beauty. For example your poems are often sad but ever so beautiful. Ida |

Much wisdom in your words and some that I have learned and recognized since studying the Cherokee. Excellent reading here. |

I came to "P.I.P.-land" in part via a study of the Cherokee [and other "Native" (true) American cultures/philosophy] Other than Nature itself, I can't think of a better 'path' toward true wisdom! |
