As sift of sand slipped from my hand I chanced to see before me a wondrous gift... Reality. No foolish fantasy could offer me this sacred sight so clearly; the beauty of a life’s story lies openly upon the earth naturally, the bounty of which can be found as easily in the lowliest ebony depths of a muddy ditch as within coveted cerulean skies, or upon waves of titanium white as they curl and twitch atop the most tempestuous cobalt seas. In search of the purpose of past, I cast about aimlessly seeking simple solutions, pondering life’s never-ending mysteries while the surround sound of noisey screeching gulls teased me, enticed me to crawl over sharp shin-scraping wretched rocks on the jetty, when all along, beneath my wandering feet sacred smooth stones did speak repeatedly: We are all one. We are all one. We are all one. And not being one to consciously comprehend Higher math or elusive elaborate formulas, this simple message became my absorption, a vision quest of Unity, my samadhi: Reality. Though it is whatever each one chooses it to be, in the end we are all one. Reality. |

Though it is whatever each one chooses it to be, in the end we are all one. Reality. Oh indeed we are. fantastic! Enjoyed your thoughts here Kacy. Maree  Beauty of the world which is soon to perish has two edges, one of laughter and one of anguish, cutting the heart asunder. |

Amazing! This makes me want to go back and brood for hours and hours over some of Spinoza's highly formulaic philosophy, or Wordsworth's upon-a-stone dreamery--- Indeed, the unity of the world is striking. As someone highly influenced (in a spiritual sense) by pantheism/panentheism/mysticism, I have to say that this perspective of yours is very close to my own heart, and I feel that I can relate to this poem very deeply. This is what poets do, I say---look at all that is and say "behold." The colours and images in this poem are lovely, and comply with many of the critical remarks I made on your other poem. Please write like this more often. Much love Brian  http://www.livejournal.com/~new_formalism |
