“Learning is quite simple”
```
Learning is quite simple—
When you
Slip through the reef
Of despair
And the barriers
Of fear.

Dream Fragment 11

Between blanket and moon
Exhausted stars vibrate
On this excited flesh
Burning over passion
Fulfilled and expectant
Sensing an angel’s touch
From digits descending
Through heavens reflection

“After you begin”
```
    After you begin
Appreciating life
In its entirety,
People seem so busy
In their trivialities—
    Usually involving money.

Paths I, iii

                
Notice the solely unique in each,
   For the preciousness of every one
   Is special and rare, a beauty
   To behold in the noonday sun;
As pebbles along the shore reach
   Out, hoping to hear another call. . .
      An individual striving for name,
      To be part of the whole, yet free,
      Quite different though of the same.
   The unity shared before the fall
Is ours to feel, learn and teach. . .
   Seeing One in many, large in small,
   We grow to find the ALL in ALL.

Nasturtiums slow dance
In the soft summer breezes
To Nature’s rhythms

Pulsing through the Milky Way
And stones on the garden path

The tree in the seed
Knows its full maturity
As our Cosmic Self

Knows its Immortality
In the zero of silence

Immaculate Conception III

Undivided    Unconditioned
Incorruptible Light pulses
Through a possible Future Age
Into the timelessness of Now
To nourish the Child and its host
As they both rapidly mature
Through transformational stages
To ultimately coexist
In the Oneness of Cosmic Man

“The pendulum swings”

The pendulum swings
Life to death to life to death
Over and over

Until one becomes the stillness
At the center of the wheel

Epiphany on the Palouse – A. Testimonial

The road to disability began
When Mensa disallowed my score
Of one hundred and ninety seven;
Discovering the redundant
Rhyme scheme answers:
A BAD CEED CA B
On major sections of the nineteen
Sixty seven IQ exam.
