One comment about the poem. In an early draft I compared what I went through to satori . Not that I claim to understand satori, but from the descriptions- sudden enlightenment triggered sometimes by something very simple- a sound. Rhonda's simple question to me-and I really did have a beard at the time-led to sort of the mother of all ah ha moments.Paul D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00535027161567978343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18646885.post-1155856654732862082006-08-17T16:17:00.000-07:002006-08-17T16:17:00.000-07:00Interesting poem - I like the turn especially:Unti...Interesting poem - I like the turn especially:<BR/><BR/>Until Rhonda took my bearded face<BR/>In her large hands,<BR/>Looked me in the eye and asked the question,<BR/>What brings you here? <BR/><BR/>What a loaded question!

And the ending play of "whorled" and "world," sharp!Jim Brockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14408507847342833145noreply@blogger.com
