The knowing of the Heart

 

The knowing of the mind

 

can never find

 

the knowing of the Heart

 

The knowing of the mind is conceptual and symbolic

 

and grounded in the memory of the past

 

The knowing of the Heart is direct and present

 

 a knowing before thought

 

a falling into the not-knowing like light that

 

blooms into colours without expectations

 

A glowing with the beauty of aliveness

The understanding that you bring to each and every poem is profoundly outstanding. A pleasant read.

Your friend,

I think this is the best thing you have written . . . the simple yet profound truths it has taken me many more years than you to come to. It expresses far better than I could what I believe.
