Initiation: Broken into Beauty
Poetry and Image of a twelve year journey
in the spiritual landscape and natural world
Excerpts:
the first night
under clear sky
more than millions of
stars
one shoots into me
singing You are a constellation
and I tell you I light up
join a thousand
connect-the-dots
as a beautiful component
on a grid
of humanity and all
living creatures
and somehow know our
individual
lights are songs and we
are as much
composition as
constellation
little bus carries a motley crew
from Monterey to Esalen
through pounding rain
heavy winds
mud slides
around sharp curves
up and down hills
over high bridges
into the dark
to meet more questers of
vision
Boulder Creek flows
toward ocean
rises in mist
falls as snow
rain in summer
joins rivers
makes lakes
I better
drink
some
hours of dancing and
drumming
bring darkness wildness
waves of energy
we approach the flames
throw in memories and
mementos
back away from the heat
not miss a beat on
goatskin and cedar
nor slight the old ones
swaying along
hooting and hollering at our release
I have just created blank journals, using my images and poetry for the covers, outside and in. If I may say so, they are beautiful! Available for only $19 at the Joyful Jewel in Pittsboro, Artestry Hideaway in Beaufort, and Aria's Gifts in Apex. Or, of course, direct order from me. Am looking forward to some poetry reading/journaling workshops for all ages. Here are a few covers.
