"THERE DO EXIST ENQUIRING MINDS, which long for the truth of the heart, seek it, strive to solve the problems set by life, try to penetrate to the essence of things and phenomena and to penetrate into themselves. If a man reasons and thinks soundly, no matter which path he follows in solving these problems, he must inevitably arrive back at himself, and begin with the solution of the problem of what he is himself and what his place is in the world around him. For without this knowledge, he will have no focal point in his search. Socrates’ words, “Know thyself” remain for all those who seek true knowledge and being."

I
ORDINARY

Day to day
Making time to play
All those lofty ponderings
Put away
Just Being here
With no demand
Being who I AM
Without you, my Beloved Friend.

MOURNING DOVE

Hroo, hroo
She sings to me from her tree outside my window.
Hroo, hroo
Pulling at my heart,
Which answers: Hroo, hroo
I have lost my dear ones too



Be Good, Be Happy, Be Well, Be at Peace,
