From My Experience

From my experience anyway the face of a clock is generally the face or faces of loved ones hands~ our contribution of little extremities that grow, fingers into grips, arms into outside reaches not limited to 12 -- like Christ~ the 13th hearts, from single dwellings, into villages, worlds and universes from knowing self and significant others, into intimate knowledge of living Catechism...a personal, relatable Thesaurus of God…. Let the pendulum swing the gears turn the crystal vibrate its warmth the heart pulse from instinctive memory toward the greater science of eternal spirit one is the journey to many and all the limitless truth of Our Being One….

As ever, your poems are so intriguing and profound. Life centers round three pivotal aims, knowing oneself, knowing others and knowing God. That will be the beginning of a journey, its progression and its final destination.... of merging into eternal oneness. I appreciate the uniqueness of your versification, dear Joe

The clock was an excellent backdrop for this poem. Distance makes family time difficult. This poem touches on the heartaches of trying to keep a modern family together. Your poem highlights our difficulties.

Absolutely. We journey from God to God -- never leaving His substance. And you also, my friend, have a blessed Christmas!

segregated but together at the same time...that's a powerful concept as were the last two phrases.I enjoyed this read, finding it a bit thought provoking. Havea blessed week ahead. Sara

All is illusion -- that is not to say, that illusion is not feeling substance. Blessings my friend.

Interesting direction this takes. One as a family of man, yet terribly segregated by ideological differences. Have a nice Sunday Joe

Sometimes good, sometimes bad, bringing us closer together and farther apart. Imagine God's frustration:) Blessings my friend.
