Architecture of Cottonwoods Vol. 4 is a seven year poem beginning in 1993 and ending on New Year's Eve 1999. The book is illustrated with star charts articulating the monthly progression of the planets through the zodiac and the seasons of the year.

This book speaks not only to the current curcumstanses of life but also to a future condition of human perception.  In this volume of poetry, connections are made which connect individual experiences of human life to a living cosmos of life.  It is inspired by the search for those thoughts that move humankind forward into the future by uncovering questions that attract and intrigue the imagination.  This is a book that speaks not only the present tense of the Now, but also of the Then, and the What Will Be. 
 
As the Architect Louis Kahn once said: "What was, has always been. What is, has always been. What will be, has always been."  
 
And as Rudolf Steiner once spoke, “It’s not one truth that is significant but the coincidence of all truths that is important”. 
This book is written in the imagination that nothing in life is done without significance.  Everything we think, feel and will in our lives is significant and connected.
...Every tree can be known by its seed.  One leaf can identify its form.  ...This is the Architecture of Cottonwoods.

Excerpt

LXXXV

An old New Year’s Day story
of the Chartres master
and teacher
Alain de Lille [Alanus ab Insulis]

who was asked to prepare a lecture
on the trinity at the University of Paris
and took a walk beside the Seine
to imagine the mystery

there he saw a child
scooping water from
the river with a bucket and
pouring it out onto the bank

“What are you doing?”
“I am, emptying the Seine.”
“You will not empty the Seine doing that.”
“I can as easily empty the river Seine doing this
as you can give a lecture on the trinity tomorrow
thinking like that,” said the child.
