We are no longer alien creatures in a sterile world. We are embraced by the immensity of life on all levels." Bless you and thank you! Rev Tom Fogarty, CMH, OUnI - Interfaith Minister Ivan, this is probably the best interpretation/insight I’ve read from you emails.

I love the fact that some great poets and other artists are unknown. The Tao Te Ching insists that the unknown leader/servant is the best. "Principles above personalities" is good advice for us addicted folk. And for the rest of you as well, if any such there be. A nice poem, an incredible commentary, thank you.
