Some Time With a Friend

Right from the start,
an image of self emerges—
growing from within—
that whispers who we are. 

A lonely sense of being
and of knowing just
what we mean to ourselves. 
and to precious others. 

And, listening,
we realize that the
nature of existence lies
in the connectedness of things. 

And if we remain curious,
we can touch the
fabric of creation that
connects us with the source. 

Then go 
and spend some
worthwhile time
with a treasured friend.

Good to see you again, Mark. As plainly as this piece is written, its pointedness is overlayed with very deft and well weighted expression. It all adds up to a very approachable place to be. Very good write, my friend.

Lawrence, thank you, my friend. Your comments are better than my poetry.
