Being close to an ocean is but a dream of mine...reading your poem reminds me of the vast star-lit sky which brings about the same feelings you describe...

WE are all one in God's sight, a part of him and a part of the universe. Oh we may understand it better when we get to Heaven. Meanwhile, we stay her and be as we are and share ourselves with others. Good write and meditational.

If it hadn't been for Buddha and piety, the Chinese would have had no balance and with Laotse guiding them, they would have sipped tea all day long, starved and lived in caved if they were lucky. We are in the river and we are the river.

I'm right there with you on this one, Gene. I am a big fan of the Tao Te Ching, which inspired my poem called "Enigmatic Way." I love your line: "the way to do is to be." This line says it all. We must be who we are (release our typically restrained authenticty) and then in being, we 'do' that which we were intended to do. Love this!
