“One who thinks she knows, knows not;

One who thinks she knows not, knows.”

Sri Guru Gita v40

Thanks for this quote and the poem about beginners mind very much resonates, living again on the land and in community…

Salaams!

“The Divine spark! Light it with Love and set it ablaze!”

What a stunningly vivid and soul-stirring image. I can almost see it, not just with my mind’s eye but with the vision of my heart. It feels alive, glowing, radiating warmth and purpose.

Thank you for sharing something so profound—it lingers like a whisper of inspiration in the depths of the soul.

A remarkable project she undertook

In the time of the late Autumn

To turn the browns and blacks of Winter

The bright greens of the mind's new inventions.

10-8-8-10. Seasons, life and aging, creativity. Throw it all in a Mix-Master, turn on high. Easy-Peasy!

Last of these prompts, autumn has moved into winter now...and thank you so much Marguerite. I love the unpolished spontaneity of writing poetry like this.

A beautiful set of poems. I particularly like Wisdom and love the lines ‘so I may drink long at the fountain, and still be thirsty’ - deep and profound - exquisite 😊x
