without having seen how my verses look in print
I've been thinking about koans, and the practice of being. These lines spoke to me:
"...I was pagan like the sun and the water,
With a universal religion that only humans lack.
I was happy because I didn't ask for anything,
I didn't try to find anything,
And I didn't think there was any explanation beyond..."
And, I love that you and your friend recited poetry together on the way home from school. So lovely and unsurprising, knowing you. Thanks, Erica.
Beautiful! No facts to face.
