"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."

Life Goes On...

for some.
Harvey  ~ Beeswax ~LL. 1970

For others it is frozen in a permanent loop of repetition.
The same old, same old,
New each time -
as if it never happened before.
While dreaming he is moving
He marches in place
Growing old
Dreaming he is a boy.

Lies, justifications, explanations, defense
All stand at that door
Fully armed
Guarding against the truth.

Listen!
Can you hear?
