Who are you?? I know I cast you out long ago.I thought that you were the problem. Now you are the mystery of the century.I yet want. This much is true. In spite of that… who are you? You ebb and flow in all of my members.And yet you are such a stranger. I perhaps…
Glimpses
Wonder. Awe. Inspiration. Being gobsmacked in amazement. Whatever you want to call it… it isn’t uncommon to have a taste of infinity in those moments. It can be like the stars of the heavens smile down on you, and though you feel small in their presence – they feel glad to have your attention and…
