I look in the mirror,
         It’s cracked in two halves.
The first one is crying,
         The second one laughs.
I’m Verdi and Wanger,
         Picasso and Goya.
I’m split into two:
         The judge and the lawyer.
My soul is divided
         By fire and ice.
Two opposite forces:
         I’m Pilate and Christ!

Amazing. What else can there be said? Master, you deserve your title. With a poem like that, I bow down. The entire poem was rich and outstanding. What else can I say? I loved it.

THERE you are!!!

and yes, yes YES...

I was just talking about "boxing the shadow" and now this--talk about synchronicity.

(make me put the Jung down..sigh, I DO obsess...)

Thanks for sharing this with us. Your work is always exceptional--a certain clarity of intelligence that I've always admired.

Missed you my friend.
