Sometimes I need only to stand wherever I am to be blessed. - Mary Oliver

And now you'll be telling stories
of my coming back
and they won't be false, and they won't be true
but they'll be real

Poetry isn't a profession, it's a way of life. It's an empty basket; you put your life into it and make something out of that.

Knowledge has entertained me and it has shaped me and it has failed me. Something in me still starves. In what is probably the most serious inquiry of my life, I have begun to look past reason, past the provable, in other directions. Now I think there is only one subject worth my attention and that is the precognition of the spiritual side of the world and, within this recognition, the condition of my own spiritual state.
