Initiation: Broken into Beauty

Poetry and Image of a twelve year journey 

in the spiritual landscape and natural world

 

            


                                  Excerpts:

the first night

under clear sky  

more than millions of stars

one shoots into me

singing You are a constellation

and I tell you I light up

join a thousand connect-the-dots

as a beautiful component on a grid

of humanity and all living creatures

and somehow know our individual
lights are songs and we are as much

composition as constellation

little bus carries a motley crew

from Monterey to Esalen

through pounding rain

heavy winds

mud slides

around sharp curves

up and down hills

over high bridges

into the dark

to meet more questers of vision

Boulder Creek flows

toward ocean

rises in mist

falls as snow

rain in summer

joins rivers

makes lakes

I better

drink

some

hours of dancing and drumming

bring darkness   wildness   waves of energy

we approach the flames

throw in memories and mementos

back away from the heat

not miss a beat on goatskin and cedar

nor slight the old ones swaying along

hooting and hollering at our release
