Transcending trainees trail our trio awed by its regal mystery – repressing passion in arid nausea, hiking duality trails with camels and bearded earthly kings - conversing Bedouin ethics, monogamy, time journeys by association. We sip kava quietly laugh at this our evening entourage and their youthful dialect - then pause, gasp as the trail brightens silver with the Star. The Magus points west. Myrrh is in the air. |

Some powerful imagery and messages here. Transcendence, duality, following stars and wise men. I have traveled alongside Bedouins. I have traveled with Muslims, Christians, Bahais, Hindus, Buddhists, Jews, agnostics and atheists. And I know of myrhh and frankinsense. But I may have to come back again to this poem, as I'm not sure my understanding is your intent. |

(sigh) I too don't know if I understand what you meant to interpret in these words either but I too saw it as what Kacy said; a journey with various different angles! (big hugggssssss) This is wonderful, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Craig, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |
