Eternity held between the two margins of star and tree.
How simply does nature pose for us;
how splendid is the product we long for….

Thanks Ivan your quote and the haiku are complimentary.This longing prevents us from what is and whole life’s journey is sifting through this conditioned quagmire of the mind…..obviously fictitious still so hard-core veiling what is.

GOD!!!! The longing!!! The longing in between……………the endless void.
The void expands at the edges. Everytime i feel i have reached the end of it, it expands some more!!

Gabriel is a wonderful poet. The haiku is an instance of most natural poetry which happens in a moment.
It was refreshing to (re)read some of his sequences under the heading UTTERING HER NAME in the special issue of Poetcrit, Vol. XXV, No.2, July 2012.

Ivan – Thank you for the Star and the Tree and the longing in between them.

and thank you for your very insightful verb – Sift
to sift though our lives, withdrawing projections until we become nameless – and rest there in that space where the star and the tree behold one another.

Open, expansive, inclusive infinite Heart containing All.

Pranams,
Julie

It is perfect, isn’t it? Takes your breath away, that’s how perfect it is.
