Patient the Dreams

From where
the currents form
that first breath
first cry
suckling
coo

From where
begins tenuous longings
begat by sudden voltage
cranial hostage without voice
not knowing
not yet equipped
only growing synaptic wanderings

From where
comes liberation
sentient pleads exploding
expression finally knowing its needs

Yet

We wonder
we challenge
we...

From where
does creative experience derive its understanding
that place wisdom becomes the new voice
where the stranger’s "Hi"
opens expansive trust
makes attachment moot
relies not on expectation
simply allows the now of then

Patient the dreams

okay richard had a good take on this, but a hi in nyc can cause a "what do you want" reaction, where as in another city if you don't say hi your beyond rude in all respects, so flexibilty must be the creative key to opening elusive doors. My thoughts :) great write ~ morgan

At once so ethereal and abstract and so concrete and tangible. Where indeed has gone the stranger's "Hi" ?? Is it yet to be found amng those who wonder wherefore? Why? From that first breath... to the yawning gulf of what renders "attachment moot" is the intervening stuff of those patient dreams that bequeath a legacy of hope and trust to those of us whose "creative experience derive [s] understanding [in the ] place wisdome becomes the new voice... this is another fine write from the pen of a philosopher extraordinaire... pleasure, pure pleasure.
