If You Could

Inner turbulence swirls Imprisoned As in liquid amber, When motion ends And the peace And the stillness Of eternity doesn't Answer the question, If you could You'd gaze beyond Your tiny prison, And if you could You'd greet a star New-born On your horizon And if you could You'd ask the void "Is that it?" But you know the answer Anyway Don't you. You've known it all along.

You remind me of a permaculture design principle: Solutions are implied within our Problems. The span of answering resolutions is predicted in the centering mind and heart of questing.

Yes the answers are there but in life they don't seem grand enough so they can't be true.Peter you have opened my mind digging for treasure. What is really in there, what knowing do I possess and not aware of it. I am excited to face what is written on my heart. Thank you.
