This drop of water, in the shower where I sit, slowly ripples miniature waves of lukewarm water, wrinkles in lives. Folds in time, in minds, in the hearts of everyone involved. Pain thrown out, like screech of owls into the night. Hunger screamed of love, of being loved. How the arms of many in warmth embrace. How silence exists, that removes cold, and brings life from many to many. *** April 4, 2017 Copyright © Darren White

Darren, you are good at finding peace; no small thing. Those minutes you sit in the shower - you may reinvent them, flying through the halls of perception without cost, a very good way of 'being there.' I am reminded of Japanese "Shinrin-yoku" - forest healing, Google says "taking in the forest atmosphere" or "forest bathing." In the woods, at the seashore, in the shower, passages...

That's wonderful, Doug... I am practicing the art of The Tao, not really an art, but still. What you say, I find there indeed.

Your poetry is remarkable, Duir! And the image reminds me of the Celtic triquetra!

Oh Darren. You are amazing. Need I say more. I think not. Allow me to let your words stand for they speak. This is one of those entries to be read out loud. Well done in its entirety.

A deep poem, my friend. Every time I read, another idea is inspired. Showers often do that. :)
