i am pushing the language,
here trying to catch a wil'o the wisp
with a cargo net

--30--




go in and down to gather,
go under and up to disperse

go farther in and down
to the bottom of your soul.
there, at the Margin, pause
beyond is little charted,
few friends will you find.
beyond is danger, madness
and your hearts desire,
to go beyond, do you dare?

go in and down to gather,
go under and up to disperse

beyond the margin is where
we merge; beyond is where
we are connected – bound to
friends and lovers, rivals
and enemies; tied with bonds
strong as chains, as light as
thought. there is no law
there save that of love . . .

go in and down to gather,
go under and up to disperse

so gather your heart and your courage
and open your being to the tide
let it carry you where it will
deep past the margin of you soul .
so go there beyond your ken,
go beyond and dare the madness,
face the danger of heart’s desire:
be one with friend and stranger . . .
