Different Drums Climb the mountains in your waking hours. Ascend the clouds in your finest dreams. Roam a thousand wilderness paths leading nowhere. Follow long-wandering streams to the ever-restless sea. Attune to the eternal rhythmic pulse of Nature’s majesty … until that one lovely day of grand epiphany when you finally meet yourself as one with the consciousness of the universe. --- b. e. adams (6/22/2013) |

Magnificent, Bruce - though for me, I have always known exactly who I am within me and within the Universe, but few are so lucky - but either way, it is a pleasure to read this. Owl |

It's a very beautiful poem. And reading this one I remembered another poem, a song of one author. It was about someone searching for himself on the highest mountains, in the deepest oceans, and even underground, but found nothing. And then he read the advice in some old foreign book: "Find yourself in a looking-glass". That was the only line written in English (the rest was in Russian), but I often recall that song, when I think that all we are mirrors for each other, and that a single man can't see and understand himself totally, he needs someone's eyes and soul to see his own reflection. "...on ne voit bien qu’avec le coeur. L’essentiel est invisible pour les yeux." |

Gale, moi, aussi, j'aime tellement le petit prince et son ami, le renard qui l'a approvoisé. Owl |

Perhaps that is why we age. We are forced to look inward as we can no longer climb mountains. Lovely, insightful poem, Bruce. Ida |
