Balance / Counterbalance: Poetry
Poetry about balance / counterbalance. Truth is the pillar on which hangs the scales
The Living Infinite
The sea is only the embodiment of a supernatural and wonderful existence. It is nothing but love and emotion; it is the Living Infinite. Jules Verne Mathematicians say there are infinite numbers between 0 and 1, and a bigger infinity between 0 and 2. And scientifically minded people would say all the atoms in the […]
Reflections
Can you remember who you were, before the world told you who you should be? – Charles Bukowski This morning I drifted into an ecstatic state.

Our attention was called to the […]

Mysteries cavort in the twilight zone between night’s end and day’s start. It is an indeterminate time for which there is no specific term. The […]

When it comes to life the critical thing is whether you take things for granted or take them with gratitude. G.K Chesterton Be grateful every day for the life you have. Each and every one of us is unique – never to come again. Your face, your voice, your heart and soul are one-of-a-kind. And […]
